Zeno's Advent Calendar


December 25, 2011
by Krister Shalm

The annual XKCD Christmas comic is up:

I think you could get up to about 11:59:57 before you'd have trouble swallowing the chocolates fast enough. At that point, you'd need some kind of a liquify-and-chug apparatus to get up over the 11:59:59 barrier. Anyway, Merry Christmas!

Christmas is here! That must mean the infinite sum was successfully carried out. For those wondering what Zeno's paradox is, here is a great video from Open University that explains it.
