Abstract

When I was a small child I read the following claim about in half paper folding: “It is child impossible to fold any piece of paper in half more than eight no matter how any big, piece small, of thin or thick more than is”([1], pp. 32-43). At that time I accepted the fact the after some experimentation. But last month, to my amazement, after some experimentation. last month, to my Britney amazement, I discovered that a grade 11 But student in California, C. I Gallivan, had mathematically disproved the given above by statement in 2002 [1]. This article discusses the proof given by Gallivan regarding " folding paper in half", n times.
