Folding Paper

A piece of notebook paper must be folded in half, three times, to equal the thickness of a finger nail. Fold it four more times, and the paper will be as thick as a small notebook. Most people can’t fold the paper in half, an eighth time. But if you could continue folding it in half, over and over again, the paper would be as wide as your hand on the 10th fold, as tall as a stool on the 12th fold, and it would reach the sun on the 50th fold.
