The eternal mathematical torture! Finding the smallest number in (0,1) is like trying to find the bottom step on an infinite staircase. You think 0.0001 is small? Nope, 0.00001 is smaller! How about 0.000000001? Still not the smallest! There's always a smaller positive number—just divide by 10 again! Poor Sisyphus got upgraded from pushing a boulder uphill to searching for the smallest positive real number. At least the boulder had an endpoint!
