A high school student became the first person to fold a paper in half 12 times

It was toilet paper and the fold was only long ways, which kind of breaks the spirit of the challenge IMO.<p>Mythbusters was able to fold a giant (football field size) sheet of paper at successive 90 degree angles (the hard way) eleven times, but it took a road roller&#x2F;compactor to do it:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.relativelyinteresting.com&#x2F;how-many-times-can-you-really-fold-a-piece-of-paper-in-half&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.relativelyinteresting.com&#x2F;how-many-times-can-you...</a><p>Article above claims someone has done the toilet paper fold 13 times.

Is there any research on why its so hard to fold the paper ?

If the paper was really really really stretchy you can do it 13 times. I&#x27;m sure such a paper exists.

Jesus Christ on a cracker: why the hell is she described as a &quot;school girl&quot;? That designates an elementary or pre-teen woman, not someone 17 years old.
