... 4. In the Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, …, each term after the second is the sum of the previous two terms. How many of the first 100 terms of the Fibonacci sequence are odd? There are 67 odd terms. The parities in the sequence repeat the cycle Odd, Odd, Even. This cycle has a length 3. In parti ...

Collatz conjecture
The Collatz conjecture is a conjecture in mathematics named after Lothar Collatz, who first proposed it in 1937. The conjecture is also known as the 3n + 1 conjecture, the Ulam conjecture (after Stanisław Ulam), Kakutani's problem (after Shizuo Kakutani), the Thwaites conjecture (after Sir Bryan Thwaites), Hasse's algorithm (after Helmut Hasse), or the Syracuse problem; the sequence of numbers involved is referred to as the hailstone sequence or hailstone numbers (because the values are usually subject to multiple descents and ascents like hailstones in a cloud), or as wondrous numbers.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 the process (which has been called ""Half Or Triple Plus One"", or HOTPO) indefinitely. The conjecture is that no matter what number you start with, you will always eventually reach 1. The property has also been called oneness.Paul Erdős said about the Collatz conjecture: ""Mathematics may not be ready for such problems."" He also offered $500 for its solution.
