Overhanging Cards

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
Starting from the top of a deck of cards, each card is pushed over so that it just balances. The overhang for each card is half the corresponding entry in the harmonic sequence and the total overhang is given by half the partial sum of the harmonic series.
