From the first sentence: 180 grains converts to 11.6638 grams. 3/8 troy ounces converts to 11.6638 grams. I've spent a lot of time trying to find out where "(11.3398038 grams)" comes from. This needs to be justified, at least in the talk. Dave C (talk) 03:20, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Your Collatz tree

Hi, I had a look at your tree at http://dbarc.net/yr2024/collatz1.0.pdf

I do like your idea of showing /2 on top, (*3+1)/2 at the bottom. It is simple and elegant.

Four suggestions:

1. Add the 1->2 to the bottom part, the cherry on the cake, the final loop.
2. Try half ovals in stead of straight lines, with the steep bit at the end point. This will indicate direction in a subtle way.
3. Omit the small circles as when using half ovals, you will see: 2 endings, 1 start at 2, 5, 8, 11, ...
4. Submit your graphic at: commons:Special:UploadWizard and post it on the Collatz Conjecture talk page.
