Did a high-school graduate solve the paper-folding problem by folding a piece of paper twelve times?

Think about it, a single piece of paper that is folded 12 times would end up being 2 raised to the 11th power in thickness. It's one of those problems that seems easy, but in reality doesn't make sense. Within just a few folds, you aren't really "folding" the paper any more, it's more like "bending" it, and besides, the original piece of paper would need to be quite large so that you could keep folding it. IN ADDITION: If you fold a piece of paper 7 times, you have expended the area that you have to fold. So unless you have supernatural abilities, you cannot make more folds, if you have any more, tell me.

It really depends on what kind/brand you get. Do some research at your local store or online to find patio furniture that is sturdy. Usually anything that costs a little bit more will hold up.

But worrying about biting someone due to the fact that you can't use animal blood inside school would be a major problem, I deal with this EVERYDAY I'm a highschool vampire, and keeping it secret from classmates is difficult...
