Matryoshka doll. Babushka = grandmother.

What if the dolls are all grandmas?

  • Then you'd have an infinite series, as each doll would have to contain two smaller copies.

    • But the real question is would you be able to determine this had happened from the surface of the outside doll if all of the masses of the inner dolls are half of the i-1 outer one, leading to a total mass of 2n?
