    nope

    1 + 0.5 = 1.5

    1.25 + 0.25 = 1.75

    1.750 + 0.125 = 1.875

    1.8750 + 0.0625 = 1.9375

    the series of the inverse powers of 2 converges to 2

      if you think about it in fraction you get

      1 + 1/2 = 3/2 = 6/4

      6/4 + 1/4 = 7/4 = 14/8

      14/8 + 1/8 = 15/8 = …

      notice how the result’s numerator is always one less than double the numerator, such that the result is always under two

        The math question ignores that there is a minimum volume for beer, at some point you either get beer or something less than beer added.

        The bartender is right.
