continuing aH@skell

For the exercises today, we created a filter programme. I laughed because one of the sentences we filtered gave a result that spells "G@yballs". Totally unexpected.

Oh, then there was this cool one that gave the result for any number for the C0llatz Sequence. Essentially, it's a m@thematical problem whereby you take any natural number. If it is 0, it is 0, but for every other even number, you divide by two. For every uneven number, you multiply the value by 3 and add one. You end up with patterns that eventually lead to the result of zero (which has been proven up to a value to the amount of 10^28.

There are also some neat visualizations of this theorem, done via visualization programmes in Pyth0n, etc.
