  1. Pretty simple! It dosen´t matter how many digits the number hase. If you have an odd number, and multiply by 3, plus 1 you always get a even one. The posebilety of getting a odd one next, is less then 50%. So you are going always down, no mater how high the number was!!! Seems like a homeopathic thing for mathematicians! You know it´s hopeless, but you just want to belive there is more to it. You can see the Repetition in the charts clearly, those indicate... it,s always the same! The other thing he mantiont with the Po´lya Conjecture is just a stupid outgrowth as the fascination with prime numbers.... it´s useless, pointless, and you can make up stuff like that as much as you want. If you want, you can construct a formula that crosses a certain specification, at a number as high as you want, just to get it look simple at the begining, makes it hard and limited in options!
