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.
