I proved the Collatz conjecture for 12 infinite subsets of the set of integers congruent to 2 (mod 6). A theorem states that this set determines the conjecture.

It looks very likely that this would lead to a complete proof, though it may take much work (donkey work).

Also discovered interesting digit regularities and sum of digits regularities of roots of isomorphic trunks.

If there is a method to get the integers left out of the "limiting assymtopic density theorem
@ Mathworld" that states that almost all integers have finite stopping time then the work will
be much reduced.
