k so I have a bet going with one of my friends, and here's the deal.
If you stack poker chips in a staircase-like fashion, let's say going left to right like this:
____0000
___0000_
__0000__
_0000___
0000____
I say that you can't get to the point where the top poker chips left-edge is further right than the bottom chips right edge. My friend says that the chips can go infinitely far in the right direction if you have enough of them. Are either of us right? an explanation would be great to... thanks!
