A regular size sheet of typing paper (8½ x 11 inches of A4) needs to be used for this experiment. First of all, it has to be torn into four smaller pieces. This is done as follows:
1. It has to be folded in the middle and then it can be torn into two pieces.
2. Each piece is folded again across the middle and torn to make a total of four equal-size pieces.
Now one of the pieces is placed on the table with the long sides pointing down. A horizontal line is drawn across the top of the paper about a quarter of the way from the top. Then two vertical lines are drawn downwards from the horizontal line, so that the bottom part of the paper is divided into three equal-size parts.
Next, the paper has to be torn along each of these vertical lines as far as the horizontal line so that three flaps are created. Then the left flap is folded towards you and the right flap is folded away from you — the folds are made right at the top of the flap. The centre flap should not be not folded, though.
Now a paper clip has to be found and this is attached to the bottom of the centre flap. Finally, the whole thing has to be raised high and is then allowed to fall…
