Baby steps
I want to make it from one side of a room to the opposite side of the room in a straight line path of distance by taking a number of steps. Each step that I take is half the distance of the previous step. If my first step is the smallest possible step that I can take while still being able to make it to the other side of the room, how large is my first step?

Summation of an infinite series!
S= T1/(1-r)
S= X
T1= First Step
r= .5
X= T1/(1-.5)
X= T1 x 2
T1= .5X
