Geometric Progressions

Geometric Progressions: Level 2 Challenges

         

An infinite crowd of mathematicians enters a bar. The first one orders a pint, the second one orders a half pint, the third one orders a quarter pint, and so on.

The bartender interrupts, "I get it!" – then pours the order for all of the mathematicians. How many pints does the bartender pour?

If the first three terms of a geometric progression are given to be 2+1,1,2−1, \sqrt2+1,1,\sqrt2-1, find the sum to infinity of all of its terms.

If the answer is in the form of a+bcd \frac{a+b\sqrt c}d for positive integers a,b,c,a,b,c, and dd with cc square-free, find the minimum value of a+b+c+da+b+c+d.
