Could this be an easter egg? http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:xIINkbxei0sJ:www.cameronmoll.com/archives/2007/04/surviving_the_allday_tech_interview/+distance+17179869180&hl=nl&ct=clnk&cd=1
<quote> 13 David Yeiser ~ 04 April 2007 The moon one is actually a lot less folds than I thought when I first heard this riddle. Assume the phone book to be 2” thick: 1 fold (1f) = 2 x previous thickness. 1f = 4” 2f = 8” 3f = 16” 4f = 32” 5f = 64” … 33f = 17179869180” = 271,147 miles Distance from the earth to the moon = 238,906 miles. It’s based on geometric growth, so you can produce a formula that would give you the height of the resulting folds with the variables being the thickness of the phone book and the number of folds. t0 = original thickness of phone book f = number of folds h = height of phone book after folds EQ: h = t0*(2^f) So for 33 folds: h = (2)*(2^33) = 17179869180” Okay, I’m done now.
