This bar's pricing makes no sense whatsoever. One beer is $1. One and 3/4 beers is also $1. Maybe they round down? Then, everybody should order 0.9999... beer, except that for some reason seventy-two beers is -$1? Weird.

They mean that the sequences go on forever, but the joke definitely doesn't make that clear.

Too subtle a joke, I guess. The description is just missing "and so on." But the "and so on" is the crux of the bullshit in the mathematical "proof" referenced.
