A mathematician states that if one folds a piece of paper in half, and folds it in half again and continues to do this 43 times, the height of the stack of folded paper will be greater than the distance between the earth and the moon. Can you prove it by simple calculation?
* Notes

1. This a theoretical question, it would be impossible to physically fold a piece of paper in half and in half again, and so on until you 43 times.
2. The distance between the earth and the moon is 385 000 km and the thickness of paper is 0.006cm.)

Guideline for answer.

Number of folds 1 2 3 4 5 ... ... 42 43 Number of pieces of paper 2

Oh thanks Damo ♥
(I choose to interpret this message as being for me and me alone)

Sarky

I encourage this interpretation on the basis that I think Damo smells funny.

Star Lord

You think right.
I smear myself with napalm nightly because I like how it makes my skin tingle.

sNarah

You can come and tingle me!

Star Lord

I cannot. Sarky would get jealous and would seek me out and choke me to death with his beard tendrils.

Sarky

Tingle away, I got caught in a bizarre-yet-erotic love triangle with an old lady and her fifteen cats.

Star Lord

Fifteen cats you say?
That sounds less like a love triangle, and more like a love pyramid scheme. Have you checked where your investments are being channelled?

Sarky

I'll channel YOUR investments!
