Random excerpt from a rare 20-minute breakfast conversation (usually we only have about 5-10 minutes to eat).

"Anyone wants another piece of bread?"
"Hey, we still have some time left! Why aren't you eating more?"
"This is not like water parade, where you can always drink more if you drink slowly."
"This reminds me of Zeno's paradox."
"What's that?"
"In order to move from one point to another, you must move half the distance in a certain amount of time. But after halving the distance, you'll still need to halve the distance again in a certain amount of time... so on and so forth."
"Basically it's just sum GP to infinity."
"Yeh, the paradox is resolved by removing the assumption that an infinity number of steps must take an infinite amount of time."
"It's beautiful that infinity can be actually be described by a particular number with a particular sequence."
"OMG this must be the most intellectual conversation we've had for the past few weeks!"
"Guys, we need to fall in soon."

Exeunt.
