What is the tallest piece on a chess board?
I don't clearly know what you mean by height, but I'll assume it means by power
The ranking will go like this
Queen, king, rooks, bishops knights, and pawns. That is in terms of power. In terms of importance, you will have to flip the king to the first spot
What is the height of a normal piece of paper folded in half fifty times?
Normal paper is referred to as "16-weight" which is .0032 inches thick. To figure out how thick it would be after fifty folds, you have to know how many layers there would be and multiply that number times .0032
After 1 fold you would have 2 layers, after 2 folds, 4, after 3 folds, 8 etc. In other words you would end up with 2 raised to the 50th power folds. That's 2 times itself 50 times. That's a big number. In fact it comes to a whopping 1125899906842627 layers!!!
Multiply that times .0032 and you find out that the paper would now be 3602879701896.397 inches thick!! Mind you that's not counting the air trapped between layers.
[Interesting to know, though, is that it has been proven that no matter how big a sheet of paper is (length times width) you can only fold it up to 7 times, unless you use a sheet that's the size of a ware house and have five hours and a C.A.T Roller to flatten the paper, in which case you can get up to 11. But under human strength can you only get it to 7, which would make the paper 0032 x 2^7 or 0.4096 inches thick. Quite a difference.]
P.S. The world record is 12 times

Or you could try the correct answer. No matter how many times you fold it, a standard sheet of paper is always 11" tall.
AdditionJust for the record in the UK and probably across Europe the standard size of paper closest to "letter" in the US is called A4 (about 11.7" high). We used to have a size called foolscap (pronounced fullscap) which was even higher but hasn't been seen in offices for a good while.Correction
A piece paper cannot be folded in half more than 7 times. Its a trick question?
shut up
Complete correctionBritney Gallivan has solved the Paper Folding Problem. she folded a sheet of gold foil 12 times, breaking the record. The exact limit for single direction folding case was derived, based on the accumulative limiting effects induced by every fold in the folding process. Here is Britney's formula : L =((π.t)/6).(2n+4)(2n-1) L is the minimum possible length of the material, t is material thickness, and n is the number of folds possible in one direction. L and t need to be expressed using the same units. By using this formula you can calculate how many times you can fold whatever you want. PS: If you fold a paper of 0,1mm, 40times the thickness will be the distance between the earth and the moon. So do not even try it :)

Jordan graduated from Emsley A. Laney High School in 1981 at 18 years old. He turned 18 on February 13th, just before graduation.
He was denied a spot on the varsity basketball team in his high school sophomore year on the basis of being too short (5'11"). How funny is that?!

When i was younger i was always the tallest in my class. I know how you feel. You feel less confident. I always wanted to look shorter when i was younger but you can't change yourself. And this is really funny most people hate being tall but being tall is WAY better that being short because guys will like you better when your older and i bet your age to and a tall pretty person has a better chance of being an actor and be beutiful model!
