Geometric sequence Memes

Exponential decay is the superhero of mathematical traps. That $1 multiplied by 0.5 daily would give you roughly $0.000000001 after 30 days. Even Spider-Man's spider-sense can't save you from basic geometric sequences. The $100,000 option isn't just better—it's better by about... *checks notes*... 100 billion times. This is why mathematicians make terrible game show contestants. We overthink the obvious and still get it wrong.
