Judith watches a lot of cooking shows, and the one of them made me think of this mathematical paradox. Let’s say you have 10 contestants, and they compete over 9 rounds to determine a final winner. One is eliminated at a time.

However, let’s say that one contestant is given immunity. 1/n

Ok, here’s a math joke. How does a geometric series take its coffee? Instead of half and half, it uses half and fourth and eighth and so on! 🤣😂🤔

Had a great time at ShmooCon! I didn’t take too many photos because they want to protect everyone’s privacy, so most of these were taken in my hotel room.

What’s the smallest positive integer that doesn’t have a Wikipedia article?

It turns out that they all do! For suppose that one didn’t. Then there would be a smallest one that didn’t but the fact that it’s the smallest would make it deserve a Wikipedia article.
