An engineer and a mathmatician are in a room. On the other side of the room is a gorgeous woman. They are told that they can take as many steps as they like to reach her, but each step must be half the distance of the previous one.
The mathmatician works out that it's a pointless exercise, as he will never reach the woman.
The engineer realises that in four steps he'll be close enough to her for all practical purposes.
