Stacking Blocks Problem Explained - Tower of Lire

Explanation of the Stacking Blocks Problem, including a Desmos Simulation

or a direct link:

A hopefully intuitive explanation of the 1/2N pattern is developed. It's an explanation that ultimately doesn't require a lot of math.
In addition to the simulation, several real world examples are shown using Keva Blocks, Meter Sticks, and a stack of Laser Disk Boxes against the background of a Center of Mass Demonstration.
