It seems quite obvious to me that at each point 99 balls are being
added to the bowl -> infinite number of balls at noon. You could also
think of this as the sum

	100 - 1 + 100 - 1 + 100 - 1 + ...

which gives the same result. I would be very interested in seeing
why this is incorrect (or is there some other obvious answer that
never occured to me?).
