Reading the book twice, or reading two books will leave you with 25% of your problems.

Geometric series, isn't .

an = 100 ( 0.5 ) n-1

there will always be a problem

What happens when you solve 50% of the one remaining problem? Are you left with one problem, a half-problem or no problem?

I'm an optimist. You have half a solution.

Now there are two problems = the last one on the list, and the incurred problem
of dividing an odd number evenly.
Read the book, solve 50% of the 2 problems, leaving the one problem remaining.
ad infinitum,

A man walks into a bar and proclaims;
I’m feeling mean enough tonight to whip a bear!
Following that, a burly giant of a man walks over to him and asks;
and just what kind of a bear would that be?
The first man uses his thumb and forefinger to illustrate his point as he responds;
a liiiiitle bitty bear!
There are lame jokes and then there's this

Actually, I think that's kinda' clever. :biggrin: It's equivalent to phone numbers in movies and TV shows, where all phone numbers start with 555-... . It's obviously wrong, but not too terribly out of the ordinary to break immersion. 'An acceptable level of suspension of disbelief, sort of thing.
