    Frogger sits twenty feet from a wall. He has just eaten two (slow roasted) flies. ;P Now he sees another fly at the base of the wall! On his first jump, he has the energy to jump half the distance to the wall. (ten feet) :doh: All subsequent jumping power is also cut in half. :(( Question: How many jumps will it take for Frogger to reach the wall? (This is a DISTANCE question, not a "eat the fly" question)

        depends the length of the frog's tongue.

          How long is the frog's tongue?

          Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

                  What’s Frogger? A male frog, a man who breeding frogs or someone who is sexually attracted from frogs?

                    None. I think he is already near to wall at tongue distance.

                                  Frogger is an infinate number of jumps from the wall, because, given enough decimal places, any positive finate number divided by 2 will always produce a value greater that zero.

                                      Right on my man! It's amazing how many people don't get it. This was a question that I dug out of an old college math book. (Your hired!) :)

                                        Frogger is an infinate number of jumps from the wall, because, given enough decimal places, any positive finate number divided by 2 will always produce a value greater that zero.

                                        Absolutely. It's the age-old scenario: A gorgeous woman of limited attire is placed dead centre of a room. In one corner is the worlds best mathematician, in the other the worlds best physisist. A man announces the rules, "You will take turns approaching the woman. For each turn you get to move half the distance between you and the woman.". The mathematician promptly leaves, stating "with those rules I'll never get there!". The physisist stayes. When asked why he stays after hearing the mathematicians argument, he states "I'll sure as hell get close enough to make an approximate experiment!". //L

                                          I never saw a shoe fly. I saw a house fly, I saw a horse fly, but I just gone seen about ev'ry ting when I see some footwear fly!
