The chocolate hour on 6th of

February was a great suc-

cess. It was hosted in cultural

house Mj and there was

chocolate from 19 countries

to taste and also two boxes

of chocolates that turned out

internaonal. There were

also to chocolate cakes pre-

pared from th e Hodina H

team.

The SMOK intercultural evenings gave an opportuni-

ty for our volunteers to show us what is unique for

them about their countries and for the people from

Pelhrimov to nd out more about the world.

12th of February: This was the rst of the evenings

with UK, France and Spain presenng their countries.

They are big and well known but that was the point.

They are very dierent in the parts that are far from

each other so we found out more about what applies

to most of the country and was is just popular just in

one region not the whole of the country.

18th of February: Georgia and Moldova. We found

out more about the former Soviet Union republics

music, food, dances, places to visit and enjoy.

19th of February: Armenia and Belarus. Last but not

least again we gained more knowledge about the notso well known countries and had the opportunity to

taste a bit of their culture in the last of the SMOK

evenings for this month.

For the past one month here in Ho14 more people, or rather I should

In the paradox

ofAchillesand theTortoise,

Achilles is in a footrace with

the tortoise. Achilles allows

the tortoise ahead startof

100 meters, for example. If

we suppose that each racer

starts running at some con-

stant speed (one very fast

and one very slow), then

aer some niteme, Achil-

les will have run 100 meters,

bringing him to the tor-

toise's starng point. During

this me, the tortoise has

run a much shorter distance,

say, 10 meters. It will then

take Achilles some further

me to run that distance, by

which me the tortoise will

have advanced farther; and

then more me sll to reach

this third point, while the

tortoise moves ahead. Thus,

whenever Achilles reaches

somewhere the tortoise has

been, he sll has farther to

go.

Therefore, because there

are an innite number of

points Achilles must reach

where the tortoise has al-

ready been, he can never

overtake the tortoise
