  • What program did you use to do this?

  • ~ WOW ~ Thank You :)

  • @ThePsycheoutFanClub I mean, it would definitely be tempting to say he traveled exactly 10 meters because the thought of "going on till infinity" would make you think he would have reached the destination at some point, but the truth is that he will always be an infinite fraction away from the destination at all times no mater how longer he walked his steps would just shrink again, know what i mean?

  • The more i think about it the more it seems like some one is walking towards a point and every time he reaches half the distance, the distance he needs to travel doubles or he gets half the size and thus his steps are coving half the distance as before. So every time he travels 5 meters of 10 meters he needs to travel he shrinks then after he travels another 2.5 meters he shrinks then after 1.25 he shrinks and this keeps on going till infinity. If that is so wouldn't the actual value be x<24?

  • I shit myself at the pure brainossity of this equation
