# Unsolved Questions - 2

The Repetition Today's enigma is a continuous process done with a number that repeats and ends up with the last digit as one, which is something you could try yourself This is what you have to do. Pick any odd number and divide it by two. The smaller the number, the better. If it doesn't have a result that's even, then afresh with a different number (make sure it is odd once again). Multiply it by three and add 1, then repeat the process with your result. At some point, the last figure will be one. If not, just drop a text below.

No one has come up with a particular reason as to why do we get a result as such. This query is just like my previous theme, ''Unsolved Questions - 1, The Mistery of Zero''. go check it out after you've done reading this because that post is with a lot of history involved, and how the number zero can be connected with other numbers, including infinity, and how zero's properties causes states that fill the minds of people and kept them questioning, like me! Share your thoughts below if you have more information, or just tag my name with your next post which can be related to either of mine, and I won't hesitate to read it.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

• Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
• Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
• Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
