(Go ahead and try it, readers!) Using larger and thinner paper allows a few more folds, but not nearly as many as you might expect because the paper’s surface area still diminishes by more than half with each fold, so it grows small and dense quickly. A record set by a high school student, who started with about three-quarters of a mile of bath tissue, was only 12 folds  WHO HAS A ROLL THAT BIG?</blockquote>
