Yep, my brain also jammed trying to understand what is meant here. Even though I got a degree in theoretical CS...

My thought is the left track should start the Turing machine, which is more of an infinite sum joke than the halting problem necessarily? Or the halting problem bit is a sort of tangential pun. The right should just be an infinite track with a person at the end.

Edit: I suppose the infinite sum/halting problem are better described as two sides of the same coin than tangential.
