A normal piece of paper is about 0.0038 inches thick. So, if the paper were to be folded 50 times, it would become, essentially, 1,125,899,906,842,624 pieces of paper stacked upon one another. Therefore, you would multiply the above number by 0.0038 and that would be 4278419646001.97 inches or 67,525,562.594 miles of paper. So, a normal 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper folded 50 times would be 67,525,562.594 miles, which is 141 times the distance the Moon is to the Earth.

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.

If you cut a piece of paper in half 50 times and stack it how tall is the stack?
The first cut will produce 2 sheets (21 or 2 to the first power), the next cut will produce 4 sheets (22 or 2 to the second power or 2 times 2), the next cut will produce 8 sheets (23 or 2 to the third power or 2 times 2 times 2), the next cut will produce 16 sheets (24 or 2 to the fourth power or 2 times 2 times 2 times 2) and so on. The 50th cut will produce (250) sheets and that will be 1,125,899,906,842,624 sheets. If paper avgerages 0.081 mm thickness per sheet (per WikiAnswers.com), that would make the sheet stack 91,197,892,454,252.544 mm thick.
