EXAMPLE
For n = 6, the '3x+1' map is as follows: 6 -> 3 -> 10 -> 5 -> 16 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1. For any possible k, after the k-th iteration, the result does not equal k. Thus 6 is not a member of this sequence.
For n = 7, the '3x+1' map is as follows: 7 -> 22 -> 11 -> 34 -> 17 -> 52 -> 26 -> 13 -> 40 -> 20 -> 10 -> 5 -> 16 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1. After 10 iterations, we arrive at 10. So, 7 is a member of this sequence.
