Splenic-flexure syndrome is a chronic disorder that may be caused by gas trapped at bends (flexures) in the colon. Crohn's disease, colon cancer, or any disease that causes intestinal obstruction, may also cause abdominal bloating. Internal hernias or adhesions (scar tissue) from surgery may cause bloating or pain.
For many years it was thought that the maximum number of folds that could be achieved was just seven! This was the case until when in 2002 American teenager Britney Gallivan demonstrated that a sheet of paper can be folded 12 times, provided that it is long enough and thin enough.
About Folding. For most people's purposes, a fold is made when a piece of paper is creased and bent over on itself. You can fold the paper again in a different location, but this does not technically count as an additional fold. For paper folding experiments, the paper must be folded in half each time. The problem is that paper folding is exponential. Each time a piece of paper is folded, the layers double.
