I would have liked to post this in mathematical symbols, but I haven’t figured out if they even exist on my Mac. Please bear with me as I put these two problems in words.
Starting with n=2 at what point will summing 1/n be greater than 2?
Starting with n=1 at what point will summing 1/2n be greater than 2?
Hint on the second: see http://magree.blogspot.com/2013/08/unlimited-has-its-limits.html and the links in that entry.

Unlimited with restrictions: corporate doublespeak
Ad on Facebook:
Want to be Unlimited
sprint.com
Switch to Sprint for unlimited data, text and more. Restrictions apply.
Duh! If there are restrictions then the service cannot be unlimited!
I have Virgin Mobile on my iPhone, which uses Sprint towers. True, I don't worry about how many phone calls I make, how many people send me unsolicited texts, and how often I am online. In fact, accessing the web with the iPhone through a tower beats using sporadic wi-fi hotspots.
On the other hand, Sprint has dead spots where one wouldn't expect them, like on I-35 at mile 175 between Duluth and the Twin Cities. That is a restriction and a limitation.
