Little math problem. Whoever finds the value of this sum will win that amount of gil from me.

P.S. if you solve this, you rock *hint*
 
Damn, I probably know how to do this as well. I'll post an answer soon enough.
 
Wouldn't the end result be something along the lines of 0 in an infinite loop?

Fixed.
 
He might have guessed. have him show his work!
 
(6/7)^k converges to 1 / (1 - 6/7) = 7

191 x 7 = 1337

Simple problem :)
 
My friend being a true lazyass engineering student could not be bothered with solving a math problem with his brain when a computer is faster anyways.

Math? pffft, all it took was some google image search skills
 
now, for the absolutely correct answer, with curves and not Riemann sums... you get 1239.047406, ie... [-191]/[ln(6/7)]
 
lol thats ok... my answer is the antiderivative of:

Which is the true value of the area under that curve... not your Riemann Sum of 1337.
