The innocent-looking traps of nature and mathematics. Venus flytraps lure insects with sweet nectar, mousetraps bait rodents with cheese, bear traps sit conspicuously in grass, and then there's the mathematical equation 3x+1... aka the Collatz conjecture. A seemingly simple problem that's devoured countless hours of mathematicians' lives since 1937 with no solution. The real predator is the one you never see coming - especially when it's disguised as "elementary algebra."
It Looks So Harmless!
