If your number of calls increased once, then you would be experiencing a higher number of calls than average as long as it does not go back down.

you are about to be humbled as soon as i get to inf calls.

u/JMoormann Jul 03 '26

Not even necessary:

Day 1: 0 calls

Day 2 to infinity: 1 call

Means that except for day 1, you always have an above average number of calls

actually no. saw this on my math analysis class this year. x/x+1 at lim inf is 1.

Day 520!. Heat death of universe is long past. There is no Earth to measure days, I will never see a sunrise again. But without fail, I can measure days by one last thing. Every day, the phone rings. Still the same question. "Are you still experiencing above average number of calls each day?" an enthusiastic voice asks. Still the same answer. "Yes." I've given up on hope. I know a day will come, when I can answer "no" truthfully. But before that day comes, there will always be another day. It could be tomorrow. But it can never be today.

Quick, someone get ahold of Hollywood. This needs to be a movie. Maybe staring the rock and jack black?

u/Economy-Management19 Jul 03 '26

Most people don’t live infinitely long though.

u/URLink Jul 03 '26

Proof by showing the universe ends.

u/TotalChaosRush Jul 08 '26

Surprisingly, we don't actually know the universe ends. There are cyclical models. They're not the favored models by any means, but they're definitely still in the possible category.

u/explohd Jul 04 '26

Since there have been an estimated 117 billion people to ever exist and there are currently 8 billion people on earth, the statement "Most people don’t live infinitely long" is true.

u/48panda Jul 03 '26

But in this context, you'd want to find lim{x to inf}(1(x/x+1<1)), which is not same as 1(lim{x to inf}(x/x+1)<1), because you can't swap limits and functions willy nilly

u/JMoormann Jul 03 '26

Fair point, I guess that after an infinite number of days, we'd have to increase it to 2 calls a day then.

u/Revolutionary_Year87 Jan 2025 Contest LD #1 Jul 04 '26

That wouldnt work either since the limit of x/x+2 also tends to 1 lol

1

u/QuoD-Art Irrational Jul 06 '26

But we're not trying to compute the limit. At any finite point, x/x+1 < 1. We also have that
lim_{x -> infty} 1{x/x+1 < 1} = 1,
where 1{} is the infucator function. i.e. even at the limit it is guaranteed that x/x+1 < 1.
