The Initial Solution To The Paradox?

The oldest “solution” to the paradox was done from a purely mathematical perspective. The claim admits that, sure, there might be an infinite number of jumps that you’d need to take, but each new jump gets smaller and smaller than the previous one. Therefore, as long as you could demonstrate that the total sum of every jump you need to take adds up to a finite value, it doesn’t matter how many chunks you divide it into.

Simple, straightforward, and compelling, right?

I found this paradox is interesting, mainly because it has such a simple solution for what seems like an unsolvable problem.
