Terence Tao Proves Result on the Collatz Conjecture
> Tao used this weighting technique to prove that almost all Collatz starting values — 99% or more — eventually reach a value that is quite close to 1. This allowed him to draw conclusions along the lines of 99% of starting values greater than 1 quadrillion eventually reach a value below 200.Isn't this equivalent to saying that "99% of starting values greater than 1 quadrillion eventually reach 1"?I mean, once you reach a value below 200 then you will continue and reach 1. Not only below 200, but below any limit that was experimentally verified (i.e. around 10^20)
