  1. Take out your metric measuring device that has centimeters (cm) marked on it. Take a step that is 1 centimeter. This is = 10 in our logarithmic progression.
  2. Next, take a step that is 10 centimeters. This is 10 in our logarithmic progression.
  3. Now, try to take a step that is the next level of our logarithmic progression. This will be 10 or 100 centimeters (1 meter).
  4. Where will you need to place your foot in the next step of logarithmic progression?
