Oh yeah. I was assuming an infinite series (somehow). Also, odds are good that out of 34 people, one of them would misunderstand the rules or be crazy enough to do it anyway for various reasons. I'd probably still do it.

You weren't wrong, the meme implies an infinite series, and I might be cheating to apply real-world constraints to an absurd hypothetical.
