Another myth is that because the thickness doubles on every fold that it would reach the moon before you could fold it .. X times.

I'm bored, so I figured it out. A thin piece of office paper (0.05 mm) would need to folded 43 times to reach the moon.

The world record is 12.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
