it sounds like you've got an infinite amount of time to slice a piece of cheese into smaller pieces.
no. you'll never get there. you'll just keep cutting the cheese into small bits.
of course you'll get to a theoretical point where you can't divide your distance travelled in half (when you're moving atom by atom, i'd say.) that's when my head really starts to hurt. you'd either chug along at an atom per try and eventually makeit, or you can just cut an atom into smaller parts.
i have no f#cking clue, crush. reed gonna try and bite your very cool, and original thread. dude uses alt superpowers.

For example, if you want to walk 10 feet, you must first walk half the distance (5 feet), and then you must first walk half the remaining distance (2.5 feet) and then half of that (1.25 feet) and so on, how will you ever make it the entire 10 feet?
Damn, and you have the cheek to complain about my threads
