First time I've heard this take on a Zeno's paradox (I had to wikipedia it to find out it was a Zeno's paradox). I've always known it from the Meg Ryan movie I.Q. in the scene where Ed tries to cover the distance to Catherine by moving half the distance each time. I find it kind of amusing that at 27 this is the first time hearing a take on the Tortoise and Achilles for something math related I learned a long time ago from pop culture instead.
