A stick halved every day never runs out, a 4th-century BC logician argued

Hui Shi, a friend and sparring partner of Zhuangzi, left behind ten paradoxes preserved in the Zhuangzi text, including the claim that a one-foot stick cut in half daily is never fully used up — an early brush with infinite divisibility. His 'School of Names' prized clever paradox over settled doctrine.
