KMO 2005 Problem 3

    For a positive integer KK , define a sequence, {an}n\{a_n\}_n , as following a1=Ka_1=K , an+1={an−1, if an is evenan−12, if an is odd,a_{n+1} = \{ \begin{array} {cc} a_n-1 , & \text{ if } a_n \text{ is even} \frac{a_n-1}2 , & \text{ if } a_n \text{ is odd} \end{array}, for all n≥1n\geq 1 .

    Find the smallest value of KK , which makes a2005a_{2005} the first term equal to 0.
