Hi Zeno,
Perhaps you could better spend your time not telling others how they can better spend their time.
Best wishes

Perhaps Zeno would better spend his time figuring how anyone gets anywhere, since they have to get halfway there first, and then when they are halfway there, they have to go half of the remaining distance, and when they do that, they still have to go half of the distance that now remains, and so on and so forth. It's all quite paradoxical.

One of my favorite things this quarter while being a TA for calculus II was explaining to my students this paradox and the geometric series sum 1/2^n.
