Description
How far can you make a stack of cards overhang a table? If you have one card, you can create a maximum overhang of half a card length. (We're assuming that the cards must be perpendicular to the table.) With two cards you can make the top card overhang the bottom one by half a card length, and the bottom one overhang the table by a third of a card length, for a total maximum overhang of 1/2+ 1/3= 5/6 card lengths. In general you can maken cards overhang by 1/2+ 1/3+ 1/4 + ... + 1/(n+ 1) card lengths, where the top card overhangs the second by 1/2, the second overhangs tha third by 1/3, the third overhangs the fourth by 1/4, etc., and the bottom card overhangs the table by 1/(n+ 1). This is illustrated in the figure below.

解题思路:
1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/(n+1) < x
求出最小的n
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
float x;
while (cin >> x, x){
int n = 0;
float sum = 0;
while (sum < x)
sum += 1.0 / (++n + 1);
printf("%d card(s)\n", n);
}
return 0;
}
