by : $223$

 * The Tower of Pisa
 * Suppose you were on the top of the Tower of Pisa, at a point where it leans exactly $179$ feet above the ground.
 * Suppose you were to drop an elastic ball from there such that on each rebound it rose exactly one-tenth of the height from which it fell.


 * What distance would the ball travel before it came to rest?
