Message-ID: <178@hou2g.UUCP> Date: Sun, 26-Feb-84 23:39:50 EST Article-I.D.: hou2g.178 Posted: Sun Feb 26 23:39:50 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 27-Feb-84 08:36:17 EST References: <220@pucc-i> Organization: Bell Labs, Holmdel NJ Lines: 7 I am still unconvinced that the problem of the balls in the bowl can have any other answer than infinity. At every time t=12:00-1/n there are 99n balls in the bowl. Therefore the number of balls is monotonically increasing without limit as noon is approached. One can play games with the terms in an infinite series only if it converges. Jim
