I have a 8-12 page rough draft due Sunday for a research paper I'm writing. I was getting stuck at 6.5 pages and running out of material, so I was worried that I wouldn't meet the minimum page requirement. It didn't help much that my writing partners both exceeded 8 pages, even though the first rough draft had to be a minimum of 5 pages.
The discrepancy: I used 12pt Times New Roman, one of them used 12pt Courier New and the other 12pt Arial.
A quick check to my MLA handbook shows that I can use either 10-12pt Times New Roman or Courier New.
Results:
6.5 pages at 12pt Times New Roman = 8 pages at 12pt Courier New.
This seems like cheating to me, but it works! hahaha...time to slap on a conclusion and finish this baby up!
