The Roe River in Montana in considered the world's shortest river at 200 feet long. Some will argue the D River in coastal Oregon is shorter, but that is dependent on high tides.

random fact or statistic that blows your mind?
0.99999... = 1
Sounds absurd but it's true
One proof is:
1/3 = 0.333...
1/3 * 3 = 1
0.333... * 3 = 0.999...

If you were able to fold a
piece of paper 42 times, it would be thick enough to reach the moon.
If you folded it 103 times, the thickness of your paper will be larger than the observable Universe:
93 billion light-years

Try to fold a piece of paper more than 7 times.

I looked into it and even though the math makes sense I can't picture this one at all lol

A dig at UGA in the OT... nice.
I remember the Sugar Bowl where UGA lost to Penn State... I think it was the year prior. My grandma (pics in the Smithsonian) had family in from Pennsylvania. I swear at least one of them was in WWI.

IF you shuffle a deck of cards, it is likely the first time in history that has ever been in that order.
If you conservatively assume that at least 1 trillion decks of cards have been shuffled around the world each year the past 200 years, that would be 200 trillion (2.0 E+14) shuffled decks.
The number of possible combinations in a shuffled deck of cards is 52!, or 8 E+67.
Not only is it likely that no two completely and randomly shuffled decks have ever been the same, the odds of 2 of them being the same is 8 E+67/2 E+14, or 4 E+53 to 1.
In other words, no chance in hell that two completely and randomly shuffled decks of cards have ever been the same.

You have to go east from Reno NV to get to Los Angeles

There is a chance and you calculated it right before you said there was no chance :)

The width of an average piece of paper is 0.1 mm. If you take that number and double it 103 times (2 to the 103rd power), that number would be 1 E+27 meters.
i.e., 1 E-4 meters X 1 E+31 (which is 2 to the 103rd) = 1 E+27 meters
Diameter of the observable universe is 8.8 E+26 meters

Your typical piece of paper is 0.005 inches thick. You fold it once and the total is 0.010 inches.
0.020
0.040
0.080
0.16
0.32
0.64
1.28
2.56
5.12
10.24
20.48
40.96
and that's just 13 folds and we're at 3 and a half feet thick.
