Zeno's Paradox and Basketball Courts

Imagine you are standing at the beginning of a basketball court. Your friend is at the end of the court. He tells you to walk halfway to where he is (the end). Each time you stop, your friend begs you to come halfway. Will you ever reach your friend? Zoom in (Hold shift and move the mouse wheel forward) to the end of the court as you approach it. What do you notice?

If you go halfway to the end each time, how many times will you have to hit the button to actually reach the end?

Your total progress is getting closer and close to what percentage?
