A frog stands at the edge of a pond, and he wants to get to the rock in the middle of the pond. Each time he hops, he travels half the distance of his previous hop. How many hops until he gets to the rock?

1 hop. He just hops onto the rock. Besides, he can't walk on water, or hop on water. If he did hop more than once, that would mean that at least one of his hops was made while he was on water. Impossible. Now I don't know if you were just looking for a one number answer, but I felt like I should explain my reasoning to you. Hope I am correct!

Since his beginning previous hop is nothing, whenever he hops, he hops half of nothing, therefore never making it to the rock.

this could be overthinking it but, you only mentioned one rock and frogs could be amazing creatures but they can't hop on water.....so he won't get to the rock in this little story.

He can't make it b/c if he hops more than once he'll fall into the water.

He won't. Frogs can't hop in water...

Depends on how far his first hop is.
