my answer comes up to be 27487790.24 before rounding can some one check my math
marron can u check my math for me ty
an u kept doubling to 40 fold i got that at 31st fold will recheck math then to see what i missed
Here's what I did. Don't know if it's right.
1. Convert 0.1 mm to 0.0001 m
2. Then, 2^39 * 0.0001 m
3. Answer? 54975581
My answer was 1000, but am I the only one that finds it ammusing that the connumdrum question would actually be physically impossible in reality?
You can only fold a peice of paper in half 7 times before it becomes impossible to fold again.
i missed a step oo so bad good thing i hadnt entered yet
You are right. It is impossible to fold so many times. I hope this is not a trick question.
thats what i got lior ty confirmed my math. great job
sry not loir. xcpet ur math matches mine
using excel i came up with an answer of 109951162, remember not to type in metre or the commas as this will give you an incorrect answer this week
I think you forgot to round up the last number. That is why my last digit is 3
Nah paper can be folded more then 7 times. In fact a cali HS student proved it can be folded at least 12 times -->

It's a rather interesting read it includes her formula on why it is possible and how to figure an item's folding limit.
Three cheers to breaking of old Myths and creating new facts! I wonder how long untill the HS science books catch up with the HS students? =D
so what si the brand knew answer
i need the sticken answer
answer
the answer of 109 etc lenght would be if you made 41 folds it said 40.
hms I did it a few times and 109 is what I keep getting for 40 folds.
Well I have to stand by my calculations. I got the 109 number, too.
the new conundrum
Suppose you had a life-size map of Neopia, made of paper. The thickness of the paper is 0.1 millimetres.
Now, suppose you fold it in half. Then you fold it in half again, and again, and again. In all, you fold it in half 40 times.
How thick would the folded paper be? Please give your answer in metres, round to the nearest metre, and exclude any punctuation or extra information.
whats the awnser
The answer is you need to find the previous button
