For the Collatz conjecture, as written in condensed form, the map is scaling by 1#47;2 or 3#47;2 with equal probability, so the expected growth factor is #92;sqrt#123;3#47;4#125;lt;1}. Thus, we may argue that the map should probviously cycle back to 1. Nevertheless, in a postscript, Conway wrote that the Collatz conjecture is very likely unsettleable.
