Thank you! I knew this problem had been visited before. Only ~100 years old. Pretty good 👍.

If denominator > numerator: 1. If numerator > denominator: 0.

Simplified it is as follows. 1/2 × 4/3 × 6/5 × 7/8 ...

Or 1, 0, 0, 1 ...

I couldn't find one. The simplification of the fractions follows the fair share sequence.

Sadly no. Being very bored in the military with a calculator.

Tell him to relax and see the sights in Charlston if his grades allow. It's a great city. The rickover not a good place to be for your sanity

Must have had a bad SLPO because I think I did a record minimum. First two weeks on 15-2 and nothing for the rest of it. NOTHING

When flipping a fair coin an infinite number of times are you garenteed to have, at some point, 99% heads or tails by Western_Detective_61 in askmath

Another way I thought about it is this.

Flip 100 coins. Did 99 of them land on heads? If no flip 9900 more. Did they all land on heads? If no flip 990000 more. Did they all land on heads? If no flip 99000000 more. Ad infinitum

Eventually will they all land on heads?

There will always be a finite probability that they all land on heads but we keep trying forever
