I’ll be honest, I cleaned up the equation into a similar format, saw it was some elliptic curve thing and said to myself “this is where I’d send it to a computer”, but obviously the solution is so large I doubt it wins be easily to numerically derive.
Yeah it’s beyond floating point precision range so doing it on a computer requires special care, but it’s still very doable, as the linked post demonstrates!
Is this one of those problems that looks trivially easy to solve but has actually been an open problem in math for centuries and drives all who attempt it to inevitable madness?
Getting a real “Collatz” vibe from this
There is a solution. It’s just 80 digits long. I added it to the OP in the spoiler.
