If you are the first to solve this problem I will give you complete set of the Richard Feynman Lectures on Physics (read up upon the Feynman Lectures on Physics).
Question:
Take a square of arbitrary side length and construct four new squares with a side length half of the original positioned in the corners a quarter of the way down and across the two sides creating the corner. This would look like:
Then in each of the new squares in the furthest corner from the first square create a new square with half the side length a quarter of the way down and across the two sides creating the corner. Repeat this step for each newly constructed square to it infinity. To help visualise this I have created another graphic:
The question is, what proportion of the total area of the squares are overlapping with another square?
