How genious are you in math? Answer this:
If a robot runs 64 mph in the 1st hour, 32 mph in the 2nd hour, 16 mph in the 3rd hour & this way runs every next hour at half speed as the previous, How long would it take it to pass 256 miles if it keeps running this way?

* mph = miles per hour

Because the robot gets slower by every hour, after going 64 miles in the first hour, the Robot will never be able to go further than the highest number before 64 again. Therefore, the Robot can only travel as far as the highest number below 128 miles.

the robot will never even reach 128 miles, as that is the limit the function approaches as it moves toward infinity.

Impossible to calculate because the batteries wouldn't last that long.
