Love the idea, except I think you meant either "1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + …" or "1/2, 3/4, 7/8, …". The series you drew certainly doesn't come crashing into a limit of 1, although the intent is perfect!
Hi IntrinsicallyKnotted, You're absolutely right of course! I think the aesthetic attraction of putting "+"'s rather than ","'s made me forget the math!. Thanks for the comment! Have a great summer, Cheers, Tom
