How Many Times Can You Fold a Piece of Paper In Half?

Plenty of people argue that you can only fold a piece of paper in half a maximum of 7 times. Is 7-times a hard limit for folding a piece of paper?

Well, a piece of paper can be folded more than 7 times. But there's a catch. You cannot do it with a piece of paper which simply tear off from a notebook.

Britney Gallivan, from California, was one woman with the determination to prove this 7-fold paper limit is incorrect. In January of 2000, she took a rather long piece of paper (a single piece of toilet paper) and folded it 12 times. The trick here is that the length of paper was more than a kilometer!
