If a grasshopper halves the distance to a wall on every jump, how many jumps will he need to reach the wall if he starts from ten feet away?
He won't. There's a term for this, but I forget.
doh, sozobe cheated and stuff.
you're right he wont
Here's the explanation
He will never reach the wall. If each jump only goes half the distance, the grasshopper will get closer and closer to the wall but never actually get there.
