If the bar is in the lobby of the Hilbert Hotel, then each mathematician can point to the next in line and say "He's/she's paying." Jim On Thu, Jan 3, 2019 at 1:32 PM Brent Meeker <meekerdb@verizon.net> wrote:
An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar.
First mathematician goes up to the bartender and orders a pint. Second mathematician orders half a pint. Third mathematician orders a quarter pint. Fourth mathematician orders an eighth pint. Fifth mathematician orders a sixteenth pint.
Bartender says, "stop right there, here are two pints. The problem with you mathematicians is you need to know your limits."
