How Many Times Can You Fold a Piece of Paper In Half?

The video explores the myth that a piece of paper can only be folded seven times. It explains that this limit is a myth and provides examples of people who have folded paper more than seven times, such as Brittany Gallivant, who folded a 4000-foot piece of toilet paper 12 times. The video also covers the scientific reasons why folding paper becomes difficult, including the exponential increase in thickness and height with each fold.

What is the common belief about the maximum number of times a piece of paper can be folded?

• Seven times

• Five times

• Ten times

• Twelve times

Who disproved the myth by folding a piece of paper 12 times?

• A group of students from Saint Mark's School

• Brittany Gallivant

• A team of scientists

• An anonymous researcher

What was the length of the paper used by the students from Saint Mark's School to achieve 13 folds?

• 5,000 feet

• 10 miles

• 1 mile

• 4,000 feet

What happens to the thickness of the paper with each fold?

• It decreases exponentially

• It increases exponentially

• It remains the same

• It decreases linearly

If a piece of paper is folded 7 times, how thick would it be compared to sheets of paper?

• As thick as 512 sheets

• As thick as 64 sheets

• As thick as 256 sheets

• As thick as 128 sheets
