That if I fold a piece of paper in half 42 times

You can’t fold paper more than seven times.

Edit: some dicks somewhere folded paper 13 times to make a point.

I once folded the 09/07 phone book in half 6 times, but the 7th was just beyond me. I was out of my face on booze and pills at the time.

[backinatracksuit]

The robot who folded the paper in half 42 times and climbed onto the moon I assume.

I’ve been fairly disappointed with the level of pedantic humour here lately.

@backinatracksuit

That iron wouldn’t be much use once you’d gone beyond the top of Mount Everest after the 20th fold

What if you folded the Iron twenty times as well?

@backinatracksuit

That if I fold a piece of paper in half 42 times it’s thickness will reach the moon and 94 folds will stretch to the limit of the visible universe, thank fuck I wasn’t stoned when I discovered this.

That’s like the old tale of the Indian fella who invented chess and gifted it to the King. The King was so delighted with the game he told him he could have what he wanted.
The Indian fella being a right smart type says he only wants the amount of grains of wheat you’d get if you started with just one grain in the first square and doubled it for each square.
No bother says the King (probably thinking to himself this lad isn’t as smart as we thought), and sent the lads off to get him that amount from the store. The lads come back after they go way and work it out and say sure we haven’t that much wheat in the World.
The King says aren’t you a right fucker to your man and either has him killed for being a smart cunt, or makes him his adviser depending on which version you prefer

I read that as well the other day when I’d had my mind blown by the paper thing.
This exponential growth thing is fucked up.
