    that's cheating!

    I heard about this when I was a kid, but never tried it... supposedly it's impossible right?

    how about toilet paper, does that count? It's soft, I'm sure you could get a few good folds out of it :)

    You can't do it with a normal A4 piece of paper. But on that show Myth busters they managed to fold a piece of paper 10 times i think. The thing is the piece of paper was massive. They had to use a empty hanger at NASA to lay it out.

    We did this in maths one, and one really amazing thing is that if you fold an average peice of paper 100 times, it would be :


    107 km high!!

    If you guys know what mythbusters is, a popular show on the discovery channel, they tested this myth. They had to enlarge teh surface area to be able to fold it more than 7 times. It is not possible with a small notebook size of paper.
