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.

Can wax paper ever decompose or be recycled?
As far as I know from college, wax is a lipid, made from carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Since it has carbon in it, that means that it is an organic substance that is biodegradable. And the paper component of wax paper is obviously recyclable. So the short answer to your question is yes!
However, I don't recommend putting it in the "paper" recycling bin. The wax could mess up the paper recycling machines.
What the formula paper gsm calculation?
There are so many different classifications of paper, that it's best to get a chart or table, like the one at Micro Format's paper-paper.com. I posted a link.
Each type (class) of paper has a different 'basis weight' that is used to calculate it's 'weight'. Example 20# bond paper like you'd buy to run in your home printer or a copier. The 20 pounds is calculated based on 500 sheets of 17" x 22" paper. For 500 sheets of letter size (8.5x11) 'weighs' 5 pounds. For 20# bond, the equivalent gsm is 75.2 Grams per Square Meter.
For offset or text-weight paper, 50 pound is also 75 gsm.
The link at Xerox that I posted has a PDF document which has a lot of useful information about paper. In the appendices, there is a chart for paper equivalent weights, as well as a chart of common paper sizes (Metric and American).

Can paper be recycled from the paper mill?
Yes.
Most paper advertises that it contains "recycled" paper. This is an effort to capitalize on the present green awareness. However, most of this recycled paper is paper recovered at the pulp mill itself - paper that doesn't meet quality control specs, is dirty, is torn etc. It has never been off the property.
The paper recycling that is important is "post consumer recycled paper." This mean it has been used for newspapers, photocopied or printed material, etc., then collected and reused.
it is an art folding and pasting papers in a patern so that it almost looks like the iris of and eye you can use a basic patern to create difrent shapes.
You lift it up, carry it to the other piece of paper, and put it down.

How many sheets of A4 paper would fill UK?
According to Wikipedia, the total UK area is about 243610km2. Since one square km has 1000x1000 = 1000000m2, this the area is about 243 610 000 000 m2.
Each sheet of A0 paper has an area of exactly one square meter. The area of A1 is exactly half that of A0, A2 half of A1, and so forth. 16 sheets of A4 paper thus cover one sheet of A0 paper, covering an area of 1m2.
Thus, you'd need 16 * 243 610 000 000 to cover the area of the UK with sheets of A4 paper.
What paper mache recipe dries clear?
I assume that you mean what paste or paper strip adherent dries clear. The only thing I know that would dry clear would be white glue (like Elmer's). Some people with gluten allergies use white glue instead of flour and water paste. It works well.
What is the best toilet paper to use?
Scotts is the best. Lasts WAAAAY longer than any other brand - that's why it costs more, but in a fairly heavily used bathroom, I have a roll last a good 4-5 days or longer so in the long run, the Scotts is cheaper. And I just bought a 20 pack at Stop & Shop for $8.88 which works out to 44.4 cents per roll. This 20 roll pack will last us, in 3 bathrooms, probably at least 3 months (maybe longer) so it is really a savings. The store brand, which is probably Scotts in disguise because it is as good, was 66 cents a roll (3 for 2.00) so the Scott's on sale was really a bargain (it is about 84 cents a roll if bought individually).
Sorry but Scott is like sandpaper. Charmin ultra soft.
Quilted Northern is by far the best. You can't beat 3 plies with the best bargain. 24 rolls for 14.99

Devise an investigation to compare the absorbent properties of different brands of paper towels?
One way to compare paper towels would be to lay them out side by side. One could take a known amount of water to drop on each and observe the amount of time that it takes to soak in.
Trees are the source of paper. After the tree is cut down the wood is processed in a paper mill. Paper mills are found in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Canada, China, Japan and a few other places. The paper mill turns the wood into paper. It it then bleached white, dried, cut and sent to stores world wide.
How do you work out the Weight of an a4 sheet of paper?
a4 sheets are given as grams per square metre. office paper is typically 80g/m2. an a4 sheet is a 1/16th of a square metre. therefore 80/16 = 5g. so the sheet would be 5g per sheet
