Summing an infinite series?

I have a problem. I'm a little stuck about how to approach this - from what I can work out, it is zero, since in an infinite extension of parallel cicuits in one direction the recipricals will eventually exceed an given number, and thus the total resistance must be 0. However, that neglects to take into account the series resistors on the route.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 21:39, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
