Apprentice Dong is trying his best, but he isn't exactly the brightest tool in the shed. One afternoon, SnowballBear invites him to play a brand new game called "Double or Nothing... But Mostly Nothing." SnowballBear places two identical locked briefcases on a table and says: "One of these briefcases contains a secret amount of snobles. The other briefcase contains exactly twice as many snobles. Pick one." Dong proudly points to Briefcase A. Before he can open it, SnowballBear smiles smugly and offers a deal: "I will let you switch to Briefcase B right now. But a fair warning: every single time you switch briefcases, my transaction fee will automatically seize exactly 100% of the snobles currently left in your pocket." Dong looks down and realizes he only has exactly 1 snoble left in his pocket. Seduced by the magical dream of doubling his briefcases, Dong decides to switch. Then he panics and switches back. Then he switches again. Because he isn't the quickest thinker, Dong sits there and frantically swaps his choice back and forth exactly 4,000,003 times before finally stopping. When the game finally ends, how many snobles did SnowballBear collect in total transaction fees?

Ralph is sitting at a cafe with a single, delicious scone. Before he can take a bite, Snowball the Scammer slides into the booth next to him with an official-looking contract. "Ralph, my boy," Snowball smiles. "I'm here to offer you a deal. I will let you eat your scone today, but only if you pay my mandatory infinite cutting fee." Snowball explains his greedy rule: 1. Snowball takes the scone and cuts it exactly in half. 2. He hands one half to Ralph to eat immediately. 3. Snowball keeps the other half on his own plate. 4. To let Ralph have another bite, Snowball takes the half on his plate, cuts that in half, hands one piece to Ralph, and keeps the rest. Snowball thinks he is a genius. He plans to let Ralph eat smaller and smaller crumbs while Snowball builds up a massive pile of stolen leftovers on his own plate. Ralph smiles and says, "Deal." They sit there for hours. Snowball cleverly chops the remaining pastry in half over and over again, feeding a piece to Ralph each time, until the crumbs become smaller than atoms. When the game finally ends after a near-infinite amount of cuts, Snowball looks down at his plate to pack up his stolen loot. What exact fraction of the original scone does Snowball actually have left to take home?

Every day Ding Dong completely maxes out SnowballBear's credit line, forcing a direct transaction where 25% of the wealth SnowballBear has at the start of the day is transferred into Ding Dong’s pocket. Simultaneously, SnowballBear levies a luxury tax, immediately seizing exactly half of the wealth Ding Dong has at the start of the day. Neither party ever spends a single snoble on outside goods; they only shuffle wealth back and forth via this morning routine. On Day One, a treasury of 100,000 snobles is minted. It is distributed between them in a strict ratio of 1:2X, where X represents the total number of people globally who successfully solve this puzzle. Obviously Snowball gets the X because at least one of you must understand ratios. Assuming the universe does not end, after a near-infinite amount of days, what exact fraction of the 100,000 snobles will SnowballBear hold?
