Fact, snippets of useless information and all of that kind of thing makes up most of what’s in my brain – so I thought I would infect the general interweb with al of this and see what fact I can trawl for you!
Enjoy!
Did you know…
It’s only possible to fold a piece of paper in half seven times – regardless of the size. I’ve tied this with big and small and normally I get to six. The piece of paper must be intact and uncut… no cheating.
Have a go…

Yes! I’ve been trying for 65 years to get to eight, even cheating with foil, which folds flatter.

Actually that’s incorrect, though it’s a popular myth. Mythbusters managed to fold a large piece of paper more than seven times, so did the program Don’t Ask Me in the 1970s (I think they managed nine folds).

It seems to be right unless you have an insanely large sheet of paper… apparently.

I remember the first time I heard that. Tried it. True. Tried again with a bigger piece of paper. Still true. Tried with a 3rd piece…bigger again. Still true! đ

It does seem to be true, although mythbusters did it with an insane sized piece of paper and managed to blow it away.
