Fold To The Sun

<< Practice Problem 2SplitDiff | OtherProjectsTrailIndex | Heart Beats Per Lifetime >>

Folding a piece of paper in half results in a folded sheet twice as thick as the original sheet. Similarly, folding this doubled sheet results in a folded sheet four times as thick as the original sheet, and so on. If this process is continued, how many folds would be necessary to obtain a folded sheet whose thickness stretched from the earth to the sun?

public class FoldToTheSun 
{

	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
	   double au=5.88968504E12; //distance to sun in inches
	   double paper=.002; //thickness of paper in inches


	}
