Let T(n) be the odd part of 3n+1. Suppose n is congruent to 27 modulo 32 and avoids the following classes: 59 modulo 128; 123 and 219 modulo 256; 347, 507, and 923 modulo 1024; 1019, 1435, 1787, 2203, 2587, 2907, and 3675 modulo 4096; and 539, 1563, 2075, 3483, 3835, 4507, 4859, 5371, 5723, 6747, 7259 modulo 8192. Prove that some iterate of T is strictly smaller than n. This is the open remainder after the known descent progressions are removed; no uniform bound on the number of steps is asserted.
