For integers aa and bb, define d(a,b)d(a, b) to be 0 if a=ba=b, or 12n\frac{1}{2^{n}} if aba \neq b and nn is the largest non-negative integer such that aba-b is a multiple of 2n2^{n}. Show that dd is a metric on the integers Z\mathbb{Z}.

Does the sequence xn=2n1x_{n}=2^{n}-1 converge in this metric?
