ok Mr. MUTHAF*CKA, how come the piece of paper looks bigger on the 7th fold than it does on the 6th fold? I can tell it's closer to the camera, but it still looks bigger.

BTW, does napkin = piece of paper?


:p

well, it's a paer napkin, so I'd say "yes" to that. And you can come over and unfold it if you don't beleive me.

This is awesome...I read that it was impossible to do 7 folds without a vise in an Encyclopedia Brown book 15 years ago and have just assumed it was the truth since then...

Now I know that it's been a lie this whole time :confused:

I could only fold my piece of printer paper 6 times. Maybe 7 if I had a vice.

You guys have some weird paper

You either need to squeeze harder or get a thinner napkin. This one is from In-N-Out burger :)

and it's not really used per se, was jsut sitting under my Double Double in the bag. :)

a napkin is a lot easier to fold then a piece of printer paper because of the texture, etc.

This notebook paper did it fine...I think a newspaper sheet could easily be done 10 times w/a vise...

Alright, here's pics of my paper being folded. Could only get it folded 7 times. The 8th time would be near impossible.

Folding of a piece of paper

Included is a picture of the paper unfolded so you can see how it's evenly folded throughout.

Umm... napkins don't count.

I bet I could fold toilet paper 10 times... but that doesn't count either.

The normal claim is "NO peice of paper can be folded in half more thna 7 times" Nowhere does it say what KIND of paper. Toilet paper counts, napkins count, kleenex counts. If they want to say "8.5x11" notebook paper, then it's a whole different story.

Anyway, toilet paper would fold in half about 1 million times :)
