A grasshopper is standing on a thin line, and it hops.

The first time it hops 1 centimeter either forward or backward, the second time it hops 2 centimeters either forward or backward, the third time it hops 3 centimeters either forward or backward, and so on. The ninth and last time it hops 9 centimeters, and it ends up landing on its starting point.

How can this be possible?
