Fold a paper

Your youngest son challenges you to guess the thickness!

Your son is back from the school. He looks very excited and runs towards you. Pulls out a paper and hands over to you.

He asks you to fold the paper in two half, then in half again, again and again.

He wants to know how thick it will be after 50 folds?

To calculate the thickness of the paper after 50 folds, we first need to know the thickness of the sheet of paper. Considering the thickness is X cm. After each fold, the thickness increases by 2. Hence the final thickness after 50 folds would be (2^50)*X cm.
