Let me ask you all a question:
Let say there's a snail who is crawling on a stick. The length of the stick is 1 meters. Everytime the snail moves 1cm, the stick grows an extra 1m. So this is what it looks like....
=--------- <-- 1m -->
-=------------------ <-- 1m -->
--=---------------------------
---=------------------------------------
= the snail
= the stick

Question: Will the snail make it to the other end of the stick.
