Reply to comment by degening in ELI5 How Zeno's Paradox is a paradox? by TheFlaccidCarrot
But there remains the problem of whether, and if so how, the hare actually does move through an infinite number of states in reality, which is why you still see some people arguing that the paradox is unresolved, or at least that it requires a more elaborate solution than pointing out that an infinite geometric series can have a finite sum (which doesn't actually need calculus, and I think was known by some Greeks slightly less Ancient than Zeno).
