Hello, guys, wondering if you are able solve the following problem:
If you fold a piece of paper in half, then half again (always the same direction), until you had folded it in half 100 times, how thick would the paper be? (No Googling)
Hint:
...
It's big. Really big. Greater-than-a-parsec big.

That would have to be one huge piece of paper 0_0
I could be wrong but I think it would be 2^100 times as thick as it started. I always have to say "I could be wrong" because I have been wrong many times before! lol

Hah! Greater-than-a-parsec indeed. If my calculations are correct, the answer is:
...
several orders of magnitude greater than the diameter of the universe!
