%C A232711 This is conjectural in that there is no known proof that 7, 9, 11, etc. (see A267970) do not eventually cycle. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Jan 23 2016
%C A232711 It appears that most numbers diverge, but nothing is known for certain.
%C A232711 Note that the computer programs do not actually calculate a complete list of "numbers k such that the Collatz-like map T: if x odd, x -> 5*x+1 and if x even, x -> x/2, when started at k, eventually reaches 1".

%e A232711 Beginning with 15 we get the trajectory 15, 76, 38, 19, 96, 48, 24, 12, 6, 3, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, so 15 is a term.
