why does it feel unbelievable and so hard to believe kangaroos jumping will land on the same poinjt i have been trying for a year now to understand it but it still wont represent it self clearly

If it took you a year to grasp why the method works, and still don't get it, I suggest maybe spending your time on more productive things. If it's still unclear after all the diagrams, pictures, and the dozens of academic papers, not sure what more you'd expect (except some magic software that finds solution of 135 in less than 20 seconds maybe).
i just couldnt find a paper i could understand i know it work but how howw , if i could get the concept and implement it in numbers rather then points maybe it could be easier to understand , what do we need to make lets say k=20 and the range upper bound 32 collide ,what do we doo in here?

 

Is this easy enough for you?

Range: 0..63
Key: 20
Tame starts at 32
Jumps: even → +2

Tame:
32 → 34 → 36 → 38 → 40 → …

Wild (20):
20 → 22 → 24 → 26 → 28 → 30 → 32

Meeting point: 32.

Total wild jumps = 12.

k = 32 − 12 = 20
your example doesnt implement anything towards the main logic the kangaroos depends on which is the birthday paradox , but thanks anyway this makes a little improvement in my view of understanding the key is the sum of the jumps minus the starting tame k
