Logic Riddle - 1 June

An infinite number of mathematicians are standing behind a bar. The first asks the barman for half a pint of beer, the second for a quarter pint, the third an eighth, and so on. How many pints of beer will the barman need to fulfill all mathematicians' wishes?

1. 1 Pint
GP -> 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 .....
pint = a / (1 - r)

a = r = 1/2

So pint = 1

1. How did the pint formula come frm???

2. the answer is 1 because .5 is given to the first mathematician .5 is left and out of the remaining if 2.5 is given to the second one again 2.5 is leftand so on....
In this ways it will not exceed 1

3. the answer is 1 because .5 is given to the first mathematician .5 is left and out of the remaining if 2.5 is given to the second one again 2.5 is leftand so on....
In this ways it will not exceed 1

2. 1.

It's a convergent series, which converges to that value.

3. wow, i can be easily solved with the knowledge of advanced level mathematics!

1 pint!!!

4. who needs maths????
every mathematician will just half the amount of beer in one glass.....meaning no 1 will ever take d last drop, just the half of it, so only 1 pint is needed

5. Theгe is ceгtainly a lоt to know аbout this subjeсt.
