lgbasallote · Answer

infinite

parthkohli · Answer

The number of steps can't be determined.

hartnn · Answer

the frog will never reach the wall in same manner the Achilles will never overtake tortoise.

lgbasallote · Answer

actually...it's already impossible to reach 1/32 of the hop

anonymous · Answer

no ive done it

lgbasallote · Answer

@hartnn 
1) the well is obviously not moving
2) the frog is not a warrior like Achilles
3) It was not stated that Achilles covers half the distance

lgbasallote · Answer

i think we can safely assume that this is not like the Achilles riddle?

hartnn · Answer

there the start point was fixed, here the end point is fixed.
there was no specific ratio like 1/2 here 
but there is a ratio there , less than 1....
i think these are similar.

hartnn · Answer

*specific ratio like 1/2 there

anonymous · Answer

will reach the wall

hartnn · Answer

to reach the well , the distance between frog and well must be 0 , which will happen only after infinite hops.

lgbasallote · Answer

i think you should reread my riddle...achilles is not trying to finish the race(nor is he doing half distances)..the main argument is that Achilles will not reach the tortoise. why?

lgbasallote · Answer

the tortoise is slow but Achilles is fast. yet Achilles will only cover a fraction of the distance between them
