A squirrel is running up & down the inside fo a tree poking his head out a hole at the top& one at the bottom?

HE takes 35 seconds to make the first round trip each following trip takes him 1half the time of the trip before it , I want to know how long it will be before he sticks his head out both holes at the same timeA squirrel is running up %26amp; down the inside fo a tree poking his head out a hole at the top%26amp; one at the bottom?
here' the equation: 35 * (1/2)^x ; where x equals the number of trips.





to get the desired answer the equation above has to equal zero. even if x is equal to infinity, you'll never get zero but, will get very, very, very close. so in essance the desired answer you're looking for is never.A squirrel is running up %26amp; down the inside fo a tree poking his head out a hole at the top%26amp; one at the bottom?
It seems to me that it is impossible to be at two places at the same time...even if the two holes are quite close
He did that first, and is sneaking into your kitchen right now.
