Sequences and series

Can you add up infinitely many numbers and get a finite answer? Sometimes yes, sometimes no, and the line between them is surprising. You'll add halves until they reach 1, watch 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + … creep upward forever, and solve a puzzle from the park's storeroom. How far can a stack of foam blocks reach out over the edge of a table without falling?
