Won’t that only solve 75% of your problems?
The book solves half of your problems, not all of them
Say you have 8 problems. You read the book, and you have 4 problems. You read the book again gets rid of HALF, of those 4 problems. So you’re left with two. Out of the 8 problems, 6 were resolved and 6/8 is 75%.
Finally Tumblr can do math
So, what you’re saying, is that if I buy infinite books, I will solve all of my problems, because the sum as n approaches infinity starting at 1 of (½)^n equals 1, which would be 100% of my problems.
No, you will only ever be able to become infinitely close to solving all of your problems, like this:
Please stop explaining math to me im gay
that’s why radioactive material is such a bitch! it only ever deteriorates relative to its mass so it will never completely vanish
This post is pushing me to the limit
MY BRAIN IS ONLY WIRED TO BE ABLE TO SEE COLORS ONLY MANTIS SHRIMP CAN SEE NOT COMPREHEND THE SQUARE ROOT OF FUCK YOU
You know, you could just buy enough books to cut your problems down to one and hope it’s one you can solve on your own.
If your problems are truly integer in nature, eventually you hit the point where the infinite divisibility model fails. Then, each new book has a 50% chance of solving your one remaining problem.
Unfortunately, problems are not a static set, and you are likely to gain new problems along the way. Problems like, “Where do I put all these books?”
If your problems are truly integer in nature, I feel bad for you son
I got infinitely divisible problems but a book ain’t one.
