This story got a bit of coverage in the local media, but in case you missed it, a group of St. Mark’s students say they earned themselves a world record by — of all things — folding more than two miles of toilet paper.
Fifteen students led by teacher James Tanton took to MIT’s Infinite Corridor earlier this month and folded 13,000 feet of single-ply toilet paper in half a record 13 times. The previous record of 12 times was set back in 2002.
In an interview with the Boston Globe, Tanton described the folding work as “backbreaking.”
