Ah, no. IIRC, it’s called Asymptotic. That is,
it will approach, but never reach, zero. Half
of something is always something.

So two males an engineer and a scientist are placed at opposite sides of a room with a beautiful woman in the middle the middle. They are told they can only approach her taking steps half as big as the last each time.

The scientist hangs head when he realizes that he will never reach and leaves the room disappointed. The engineer immediately eagerly approaches her recognizing that eventually he will be close enough that it won’t make any difference.
