uppose you receive a chain letter with six names on it, and to keep the chain unbroken, you are to mail a dime to the person whose name is at the top, cross out the top name, add your name to the bot- tom, and mail it to ﬁve friends. If your friends mail out ﬁve letters each, and no one breaks the chain, you will eventually receive dimes. How many sets of mailings before your name is at the top of the list to receive dimes? How many dimes would you receive? (This is a geometric sequence with ﬁrst term 5.)
