The Collatz conjecture - that unsolved mathematical stalker that follows your every calculation! The formula shown is basically math's version of "I'll find you no matter what number you start with." For even numbers, divide by 2; for odd ones, multiply by 3 and add 1. No matter what positive integer you begin with, this function supposedly always leads back to 1 eventually, creating a numeric death spiral that mathematicians have been unable to prove for all numbers. It's like being in a mathematical horror movie where every path leads to the same inescapable end. Mathematicians have checked billions of numbers and still can't escape the Collatz curse!
