nice problem set!
Really loved the problems especially "Collartz Conjecture". Though I thought many people would solve it idk why less people solved.
If the last two bits are zero, it "yes". I think a lot of people miss this, like me
Yes!
For the counts notice last 2 digit in div by 4 is 00 so operation makes +4 to number. You don't want switch to odd>3 so either add 4 or do n/2. Also you don't want number divisible by 2 but not by 4. This tells when to do +4 and when n/2
