Easy, was yesterday. Today, we get down and dirty.

How thick can I get: (Hang on, does that sound right?)

Fold a piece of paper in half. It is now twice as thick as it was. Fold in half again. Now it is four times as thick as the original unfolded sheet.
Continue folding the paper in half. Do you find that it is difficult to go much further? You could try a larger piece of paper. However, you will still find it difficult to continue folding it in half.

Imagine that you did not have this limitation and that you could take a very large piece of paper and fold it in half 50 times. How thick would it be


Before you try to calculate the result, take a guess as to about how thick you think it would be. How does your calculation compare with your guess

Hi Peoples!

I can see that I've been missing all the fun! Just got back from a week of cliff hanging thrills in the Pyrenees. It was mad fun!

With the juice cans......Are there just 3 juice cans, or are there three different flavors of juice?

If just 3 cans, and only one can of each flavour....the odds are better.
Or are all cans independant, and all could be lemon, or all be orange.

first scenario...only 3 cans of each....1/7
second scenario (random).....1/14
