@mathvisualproofs: The Sphinx Sums a Series! This is a short, animated visual proof demonstrating the sum of the infinite series with first term 3/4 and ratio 1/4 using a famous rep-tile shape known as the Sphinx. Geometric series are important for many results in calculus, discrete mathematics, and combinatorics.
