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.
2. Make your first two folds long-ways, from the outside dot on one end to the outside dot on the other. 3. Beginning at the narrow end of the paper, fold it down evenly about 1/2 inch. Repeat this step for a total of 8 folds.
