Beer math

.....

...because they know their limits. Good one!

I just don't understand why people think us mathematicians have no sense of humor.

First guy orders one. Picture yourself standing at the number one on a ruler, number line, whatever,trying to get to the number two. You are allowed to move forward with each beer order, but notice each guy only covers 1/2 the distance remaining. No matter how many guys order, you will never get to the number two. In math lingo, we say that that particular situation has a 'limit' of two. It will get infinitely close, but never get there.

You wouldn't want to use it trick-or-treating, but it went viral through my son's engineering college. I wouldn't have posted it, but I'm glad Lucille did!!!
