    This don’t avoid to sleep not even for 1/2 second. But pick any number. If that number is even, divide it by 2. If it’s odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. Now repeat the process with your new number. If you keep going, you’ll eventually end up at 1.

        Yes, but everyone tried since a century to find a number with which it don’t work, good to avoid sleep.
