Folding paper!

Have been busy this morning trying to fold a piece of paper more than 12 times! Icarus tells me it can't be done, that it's mathematically impossible or something, but I disagree. I am a master of manipulating paper and I will succeed!

There's a great Australian accent with a transcript!
How many times can you fold a piece of paper?
Let me know!
I hope you're more successful than my first effort! --------------------------------->

I arrive at just one fold... I have made you a greeting card Edward. The meassage says: 'Edward, get back to work!'

Thank you, Bernadette, you MANAGED just one fold. I would have prefered the message to read 'Edward, we love you'!
Just managed 5.5 folds by the way...

6!!! What's my prize? I don't think we're going to prove Icarus wrong on this one...

Er, Edward, you know that form that I gave you the other day? Did you send it off to the Securities and Exchange Commission like I asked? They just called me to say they hadn't received it. I dread to think the trouble I would get in to if I filed it late.

Edward...your attempt seems oddly familiar to me....keep trying, you never know what you might end up with. Look further on this page, and you may find some ideas.
