Collatz Conjecture is also known as 3n + 1 problem. It is the biggest problem for mathematicians to solve it.
Take any natural number n. If n is even, divide it by 2 to get n/2, if n is odd multiply it by 3 and add 1 to obtain 3n +1. Repeat this process indefinitely. the conjecture is that no matter what number you start with, you will always eventually reach 1.
Paul Erdos said about the collatz conjecture :
"Mathematics is not yet ready for such problems."
Is there any reason to think that a proof of the Collatz Conjecture would be complex rather that simple
