Each time you fold paper, the number of layers is doubled.

0 folds = 1 layer (original sheet) = 20

1 fold = 2 layers = 21

2 folds = 4 layers = 22

3 folds = 8 layers. = 23

...

etc, all the way to 50 folds. In other words, the number of layers increases exponentially.

Following the pattern, If you could fold paper 50 times, the number of layers would equal:

250 or 1,125,899,906,842,624 layers.
