Reaching the Door—But Never Quite There

Riddle:

You’re 8 feet from a door and move half the distance each time. How many moves to reach the door?

Answer:

Answer: Infinite. Explanation: Each move covers only half the remaining distance. You’ll get increasingly closer, but never actually touch the door. This is a demonstration of Zeno’s paradox.
