Pointless things the Lisabot can do

This will be to document the utterly useless things Lisa learns.
Today, she learned how to test numbers against the Collatz Conjecture. What is that, I can already hear you not asking. Well, some old guy that did math stuff one day said something to the effect of "You know, I think if you start with any number at all, and if it's an even number you divide it by two, or if it's odd you multiply it by three and add one, and you do the same process with the new number, and you just keep going until you can't go any further, you always get back to 1." And there's no proof of this, but it's been tested to very very large numbers and so far, it holds up.
Why would Lisa need the ability to test numbers like this, is another thing you weren't even thinking of asking. I don't know.
Can she even handle trying to do the work to go after the very very very big numbers that haven't been tested yet? Not a chance.
I can't wait to try it out, is probably another thing you are not thinking to yourself right now. Well, do I have great news for you! Simply log into chat and type ".collatz 3897239842" or whatever number you want and rejoice!
