How would you cut a hole in a sheet 20 cm by 30 cm so that you could crawl through the hole without ripping the paper?

Let the four corners be ABCD (which are the longer and shorter sides doesn't matter). Then:Fold the sheet in half putting A onto D and B onto C; let the two ends of the fold be X and Y to give a rectangle XYBA.Slice along the fold (XY) most of its length BUT ensure that it is NOT sliced at a short distance from each end.Make cuts from the sliced fold (XY) towards the other edge (AB) through both sides of the folded paper, cutting the fold (XY) BUT stopping a short distance from the other edge (AB)Make cuts between these cuts towards the fold (XY) from the other edge (AB) through both sides of the folded paper, cutting side AB but stopping short of XY.The piece of paper can now be opened out into a large ring which you should be able to step through.The shorter the distance between the cuts the larger the ring will be.In the following diagram, XY is the folded edge, cut along the plusses (+) - the dots (inside the rectangle) show the bits of paper that form the ring...........................................................................................X.--++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--.Y......|.+......+.......+.......+......+......+.......+.......+......+..|.........|.+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..|.........|.+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..|.........|.+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..|.........|.+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..|.........|.+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..+..|.........|.....+.......+.......+......+......+.......+.......+......+......|.....A.----+-----+-----+----+----+-----+----+----+----.B..D.................................................................................C..........................................................................................

Is possible to fold paper eight times?

Yes, as a matter of fact it is possible to fold paper for more than 8 times, and the paper doesnt have to be extraordinarily big either. All you need to do is get a sheet of facial tissue, that's paper all right, next make sure that the tissue paper you have is single sheet only, if not, remove all others and make sure you are using only a single sheet of tissue paper. Now get some water. Fold the Tissue around three times, next add water to the tissue, wet it completely, and make sure you have removed all the air bubbles inside. Now, using your thumbs, press on the folded edges of the tissue real hard so that flatten themselves a little bit. Fold it for the fourth time. Continue the same steps, until you have upto 8 folds, it shouldn't be so hard until this point. For the final fold, this time reall wet your eight times folded tissue paper, quickly fold it into the ninth, press real hard so that water comes out, take a new sheet of tissue paper and wrap it around the one folded 9 times. This timepress from all directions for the new tissue paper to soak all the water from t=your 9 times folded tissue paper. after you are sure that most of the water has been removed, uncover the covering tissue, you will find yourself with a 9 times perfectly folded tissue paper. And if you want to unfold the folds again, let it dry completely overnight, and in the morning it will open smothly, however, it is advised to stay a bit careful whil opening.

How much is a 100 fold?

As a Wiccan, I understand the concept of "100 fold" more than most. It is not the multiplication of a number times 100, as most assume it is. However, it is doubling whatever number 100 times. Imagine your number is a piece of paper. You fold it in half one time. Fold it again a second time. If your number is one, then two fold would be 4. Or, more simply, 2 to the 100th power. So, to answer your question, 100 fold is... 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376 Which to say is a really, really, really big number. LOL *********** The above answer is NOT true. Merriam-Webster and other dictionaries cite tenfold or hundredfold as 10 units or 10x something (or 100 units or 100x some other number).--jhh
