  1. u may never reach b’coz distance(in feet) from the door decreases in this manner-
    4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16……..

  2. this puzzle can be easily solved with the help of geometric progression of infinite series sum
    so solution is 16 moves

  3. either u will never reach the door because division keep going or it will take 5steps bcoz aftr 4steps u will be only half feet away .
