I think this is the 7th challenge for famed YBNBY commenter & Loyal 77 President Dave.
(You can start reading the others challenges here.)
Now all of Dave's challenges, to date, have been mental ones. Usually we ask him to discuss how he'd handle himself in an awkward situation.
This time, we ask him to take a physical challenge.
Dave,
is it possible to fold a piece of paper more than 7 times?
If so, how?
I've attached a video, for reference.
I warn you, it gets hard.

Where the hell is the paper sheet? I heard her counting to seven but could not see a piece of paper in the video...
Baier-I took the challenge with a regular 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper and did indeed fold it 7 times I was not able to fold it 8.
I did make a good attempt however after injuring my pointer finger I decided to abort the mission.
I will try again as soon as I recover.
I've tried with a big silk-paper sheet, trying to test if the thinner paper would do... nah... 7 times and nothing more...
Only Fuck Norris can fold a sheet 8 times.
Nice try folks.
May I suggest using other tools to help you flatten and mold the paper? Nothing hard but something flat and heavy may help squish the paper enough.
That's all the clues I'm giving ya.
To hell with that. I want more details on the chick in the video ...
Mythbusters tackled this one a good while back. With a big enough piece of paper and a forklift, the folded it 12 times. Now we can all focus on the two more important issues at hand.
1. Define paper.
2. Is Dave limited to the conventional 3 dimensions?
Dave is free to fold paper in the 4th, 5th or 6th dimensions.
She's got a great technique doesn't she?
I once rolled some papers with the 5th Dimension. Does that count?
