Re: Will Vanheim Ever Become Spayed?
The first game I played I had huge problems with a Van AI. I eventually prevailed by liberal use of magic and summoned creatures. My progress had been impeded to the point that others eventually crushed me, but I did not feel that the Van were too tough. I simply did not understand how to handle them. Perhaps I was wrong?

Ooh! Since this way off topic anyway--
The tortoise starts with a lead of a foot. After a given period of time, the hare, traveling faster than the tortoise, will have made up this lead. But the turtle will have moved forwards, creating a new gap, which must be filled in a given time, after which the tortoise again has move, ad nauseum. |

I'm ignoring much more. That is one of Zeno's paradoxes, ancient problems of the greeks.
The problem here is actually a misunderstanding of infinites. The series is actually convergent to 1/0, not 0. I don't really want to go over the math here, but suffice to say that my conclusion is totally wrong. |

Re: Will Vanheim Ever Become Spayed?
Wasn't geometric progression considered by Euclid? Unlike most serie analysis it doesn't require rigorous definition of limits and infinities. Rather obvious multiplication by (1-p) allows to find the limit through other means, but I'm again uncertain when those techniques were developed.
