I know that folding the paper 50 times only get you 75% of the way to the Sun.

Now I know that Divegester is using marginally thinner paper than lemondrop.

My paper thickness is normal, i.e. right in the center of the distribution curve and considered the standard when one is considering "a sheet of paper"

Folding is 45 times reaches the moon which is 250,000 miles away (on average).

The sun is 93,000,000 miles away so that means I have no idea what comes next in this sentence.

I know that you can't even fold it in half seven times, let alone 50 times. Give it a try.

the record is actually 14 times I believe
google it
it was like a huge square of toilet paper
I remember when 7 was thought to be the limit but no more


edit: it was 12 times using a sheet of toilet paper four thousand feet long and folding in the same direction that allowed this to be done

google Britny Gallivan

You only have to fold 'The Sun' once to fit it into an average wastepaper bin, which is doing the world a favour. (This translates as 'favor' for our American friends)

Sounds like an outbreak of monotesticulitis to me.

Men have most of those. Doesn't seem fair, somehow, women should share the burden.
