Original in Hungarian; translated with Google translate; polished by myself.
Let $f: [0, \infty) \to [0, \infty)$ be a function that is linear between adjacent integers, and for $n = 0, 1, \dots$ satisfies
$$f(n) = \begin{cases} 0, & \textrm{if }2\mid n,\\4^l + 1, & \textrm{if }2 \nmid n, 4^{l - 1} \leq n < 4^l(l = 1, 2, \dots).\end{cases}$$
Let $f^1(x) = f(x)$, and $f^k(x) = f(f^{k - 1}(x))$ for all integers $k \geq 2$. Determine the values of $\liminf\nolimits_{k\to\infty}f^k(x)$ and $\limsup\nolimits_{k\to\infty}f^k(x)$ for almost all $x \in [0, \infty)$ under Lebesgue measure.
(Not sure whether the last sentence translates correctly; the original:
Határozzuk meg Lebesgue majdnem minden $x\in [0, \infty)$-re a $\liminf\nolimits_{k\to\infty}f^k(x)$ és $\limsup\nolimits_{k\to\infty}f^k(x)$ értékét.)
