An engineer / mathematician / physicist are all placed 8 feet from the woman.

The mathematician concludes that after N iterations there will be 8 divided by 2^N feet remaining which will never equal zero. With his calculations complete, the mathematician gives up.

The physicist, taking a copy of the mathematician’s calculations, examines them and declares that the calculations seem to be valid. In order to scientifically prove the validity of his and the mathematician's theory, the physicist, using his laboratory principles runs a simple experiment and proceeds to execute his way through the eight feet. Although immediately facing the woman the physicist concludes that although it may seem he has reached his destination, he theoretically is not at the woman’s location AND therefore the mathematician’s theory has been proved. The physicist than gives up.

The engineer says takes four steps toward the woman, declares “close enough” and leaves with the woman.
