Forms of paper folding:
Curiosity: It was formerly thought that it was impossible to , cleverly using "Single Direction Folding." She was also able to derive the mathematical limits of paper folding, and folded a piece of paper in half 12 times, using alternate directions, like Mythbusters later did. Nine folds was first achieved by Nisan Catron using "Single Direction Folding", a freshman student at the University of Oklahoma in the fall semester of 1996. The Television Series MythBusters busted the myth of the 7 folds by folding taped together sheets in half and turning it 90 degrees each time, for a total of 11 folds. http://www.tv.com/mythbusters/underwater-car/episode/941361/trivia.htmlhttp://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/twan_transcript_061117.html This was accomplished using 17 large rolls of paper taped together to form a very large yet relatively thin "sheet."
