Cool Trick w/ Numbers

why?

Because it seems so intuitively easy. Basically "keep multiplying a number by three and adding one and eventually you'll get a multiple of 2". Idk something with our knowledge of primes should fit in here somewhere. (that said clearly it isn't that easy or it would be solved but it just feels.. solvable)

People said the exact same thing about Fermat's Last Theorem though. Just because something can be stated in seemingly simple language doesn't imply that it can be solved with the same simplicity.
