Hey, I've stolen this challenge from some website, it's pretty easy but I know most of you will fuck it up.

A sequence is defined by:

n -> n/2 (n is even)
n -> 3n + 1 (n is odd)

Find the longest sequence, with a starting number under one million.

Bonus points when you find the solution for ten million.

My Java prog is faster than your python one. But still, my optimized python one runs in 6 seconds.

And in C, this is even faster (under one second).
