A rubber band is 1 meter long. An ant starts at one end, crawling at 1 millimeter per second. At the end of each second, the rubber band is instantaneously stretched by an additional meter. (So, at the end of the nth second, the rubber band becomes n+1 meters long.)

Does the ant ever reach the far end of the band? If so, when?

(In reply to Simple solution (and _this_ one is correct) by rich harran)

ignored the even stretch of the band doh!
