Many unsolved problems still stump mathematicians today. Some are simple to state, but maddeningly difficult to solve. One such problem is the Collatz conjecture, or the 3n+1 problem.

Take any number, say the number 10. If it is even, halve it. If it is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1. Repeat. Now 10 is even, so we halve it, yielding 5. 5 is odd, so multiply 5 by 3 and add 1: 3x5+1=16, which is also even. Halving it yields 8. Halve it again to yield 4, then 2, then 1. 1 is odd, so 3x1+1=4 again, and we are in an infinite loop 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1, … .

The Collatz conjecture says that this always happens. No matter what number we start with, we will eventually reach the repeating sequence 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1, … .

Using computers, this has been verified for all starting numbers up to at least 5x10^18 (i.e. 5 followed by 18 zeroes!). But nobody knows how to prove this. Mathematician Terence Tao has come the closest so far, spurred on by an anonymous comment on his blog.

It’s something all of us can relate to: some challenges might stump us, but with persistence and by keeping an open mind, we might take a step or two closer to a solution.

I will be on leave for the rest of the year. Will spend some time trying to decipher Tao’s method. Also plan to catch up on my other readings, spend time with family, and perhaps go #jalanjalan (if the rain stays away). – LHL

【Wan Chin：China’s two-sided tactics to push through the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act before the US-China trade deal】

Politicians in USA are puzzled by China's two-sided tactics in the HK Human Rights and Democracy Act. Such bifurcated approach of the CCP runs this way:

1. China keeps on lobbying US senators not to pass the HK Human Rights Act, which pressures China to keep her promise to allow HK full democracy. China cracks down the protest with the outlawed police force, but China says nothing against universal suffrage in Hong Kong.

2. China keeps on dragging about the trade deal and postponed it again and again. When China's lobbying plan in the Senate is about to succeed and the Senate postponed the passing of the Act to end of Spring 2020, China suddenly does the opposite. China invokes violent protests in HK by killing a protester who died openly in hospital, shot one unarmed protester in the street in front of the camera of TV press, and allow a rape case of a 16-year old pregnant protester girl to come to the press. All these cased were silenced and now suddenly made public and reported in the press, provoking an angry outbreak of citizens' protests. Police beat young people and grabbed teenage girls en masse and let them stand as POW's in the MTR train station and broadcast by the press. More people come to the streets and police pretended to chase protesters to university campuses and students set up protection units.

3. Brutal pictures are sent to USA and senators get provoked. And Joshua Wong and Nathan Law spoke to the goodman Senator Rubio to urge the passing of the Act. The good-hearted Senator Mitch McConnell hastened the process and would like the Act pass overnight. (suddenly suspended till Monday)

4. Question is: why China played an opposite game in the USA and HK, regarding the passing of the Act? Is the Act good for the communist?

Answer is: Please check the time-line I recorded above. Yes, the Act is good for the communist to drag USA into the quagmire of an East Berlin in Hong Kong while most US politicians were thinking that they are saving a West Berlin. Hong Kong in 2019, after 22 years of hand-over to China in 1997, is already East Berlin. When China refused to sign the trade deal with President Trump, Obama-style human rights diplomacy in Hong Kong is a good way for President Xi to spend a happy time with Trump and postpone the deadly trade deal. Trump will become Obama, or Clinton.
Analysis is: The communists are good at Marxist dialectics: They do two opposite things. One earlier, one later. One obvious, one hidden. With two approaches of the CCP at hand, the communists wish to hit the one-agenda of the Senate.

Analysis is: The communists are good at Marxist dialectics: They do two opposite things. One earlier, one later. One obvious, one hidden. With two approaches of the CCP at hand, the communists wish to hit the one-agenda of the Senate. Liberal-minded politicians in USA are too impatient to think twice and look at the full scene. Good for McConnell to suspend the process and allow everyone to cool down and think twice. Anyway, once the Act is passed, USA has to persuade China to make meetings in the People's Congress and pass decision to Hong Kong so that full democracy is possible in short term. President Trump may fly to Beijing to meet President Xi on that matter, as a bitter side-dish beyond the main course of the trade deal.
The Act was originally scheduled to pass at the end of Spring 2020. Four months for Trump to work on the trade deal. Why not get the trade deal signed and enforced first, before passing the act?
