Halfway Again
To reach the far wall you first have to cross half the room. Then half of what's left. Then half of that. There's always another half to cross, so the crossing has an endless number of steps in it.
How do you ever touch the wall?
Then ask
- Where exactly does the argument go wrong?
- Does the answer feel satisfying or like a trick?
- Can something endless fit inside a few seconds?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
