Yes. Cutting each paper into 3 equal size pieces gives 15 pieces of paper. Each student gets one piece and there are 3 left over. Cutting the 3 leftover pieces each into 4 equal size pieces gives 12 pieces of paper, one for each student. (1/3 + 1/12) x 12 = 5
When the two eggshell pieces were pushed in opposite directions past each other, the crack widened as the jagged edges of the broken pieces moved apart. This movement created friction between the two pieces, causing them to grind against each other and potentially create smaller cracks or fragments in the process.
The weight of 10 pieces of standard printer paper is approximately 50 grams, assuming each piece weighs about 5 grams.
Paper shredder made of multiple blades that shred the paper into strips or pieces. There are several types of paper shredders, each designed to shred papers differently, from simple and bigger strips to unrecognizable micro-sized pieces.

When you blow air between two pieces of paper, the air pressure decreases on the side where you blow, creating a low-pressure area. At the same time, the higher air pressure around the paper pushes the two pieces together. This phenomenon is known as the Bernoulli principle, where faster-moving air creates lower pressure.
The reason why the pieces of paper are neutral is that they contain equal amount of positive and negative charges and so they cancel each other out. When you bring a charged plastic comb to the pieces of paper, the charge opposite to that of the plastic comb will be brought to a part of the surface of the paper where the plastic comb is. Opposite charges attract each other, and since you're holding the comb, the pieces of paper will be attracted to the comb.
When an inflated balloon is rubbed with a woolen cloth, it becomes charged with static electricity. When the charged balloon is brought near pieces of paper, the static electricity causes the paper to be attracted towards the balloon due to the electric charges interacting with each other.
