Let g1(x)=13(1+x+x2+⋯)g_{1}(x)=\frac{1}{3}\left(1+x+x^{2}+\cdots\right) for all values of xx for which the right hand side converges. Let gn(x)=g1(gn−1(x))g_{n}(x)=g_{1}\left(g_{n-1}(x)\right) for all integers n≥2n \geq 2. What is the largest integer rr such that gr(x)g_{r}(x) is defined for some real number xx ?

Original LaTeX notation
Let $g_{1}(x)=\frac{1}{3}\left(1+x+x^{2}+\cdots\right)$ for all values of $x$ for which the right hand side converges. Let $g_{n}(x)=g_{1}\left(g_{n-1}(x)\right)$ for all integers $n \geq 2$. What is the largest integer $r$ such that $g_{r}(x)$ is defined for some real number $x$ ?
