If you folded it over 100 times, how thick would it end up being?

Just a little test of the Flood's mathematical abilities. Nothing too difficult.

1) This question is hypothetical.
2) That isn't true anyway, there is no maximum limit, it just gets more difficult. 13 folds has been achieved.

No one is. The whole paper folding question is just one of those classic scientific questions. The OP probably heard it somewhere and decided to come to the flood with it.

So take .1 and double it 100 times= 1.26765E+29 mm
