Original: Starting at a point and moving inward along the spiral , one can circle the origin an unbounded number of times without reaching it ; yet , the total distance covered on this path is finite ; that is , the limit as goes toward is finite .
Simplified: Starting at a point P and moving inwards along the spiral , one has to circle the origin infinitely often before reaching it ; yet , the total distance covered on this path is finite .
