I know this seems like a dumb question, and the answer seems obvious, but if you think about it, it's really not. I've seen it asked before and it is considered one of those inexplicable conundrums. I've never heard a good answer, but I'm sure somebody can come up with one. Another similar one is if that to get from point A to point B, you have to go halfway (call it point C); then to get from C to B, you have to go halfway again, and so on. So if you have to keep going half the distance before you reach the full distance, how do you ever get to point B, your final destination? Again, I know these seems obvious, because you eventually get there, but I have yet to hear a good explanation.
