Here's an experiment you can try. Start by folding an ordinary sheet of typing paper exactly in half. Then fold it in half over and over again. You will find that, try as you might, you can't fold it more than 6 times. If a single sheet of paper is .01 cm thick, how thick is the last, 6-fold wad of paper?

Well, if it start out at 0.01 cm, every fold will double the previous thickness.
So, if we fold it one time, the thickness is now 0.01 cm * 2 = 0.02 cm.
A third fold: 0.02 cm * 2 = .04 cm
So, can you find the thickness of six folds, or is this a challenge? Lol.
