+
+If the conjecture is false, it can only be because there is some starting number which gives rise to a sequence that does not contain 1. Such a sequence would either enter a repeating cycle that excludes 1, or increase without bound. No such sequence has been found.
+
+The smallest i such that ai < a0 is called the stopping time of n. Similarly, the smallest k such that ak = 1 is called the total stopping time of n.[3] If one of the indexes i or k doesn't exist, we say that the stopping time or the total stopping time, respectively, is infinite.
+
+The Collatz conjecture asserts that the total stopping time of every n is finite. It is also equivalent to saying that every n >= 2 has a finite stopping time.
+
+Since 3n + 1 is even whenever n is odd, one may instead use the shortcut form of the Collatz function:";
