I fat-fingered the A5, otherwise the numbers were right?

I'm aware how the system works, I just wrote about it using A4 as the "base". A3 is what you fold to get A4, A2 folds to give A3, etc.

I didn't know A0 was exactly 1m^2^ though, TIL!

    Want something that folds perfectly to A4? A3. One more fold? A2.

    This made it sound like you meant that folding an A3 sheet twice gives A2 😅 Might just be my reading comprehension, though!

    Nah, your reading comprehension is just fine, I just worded myself in a pretty verbal way. I totally get how it could be misread, I was thinking along the "salesman making a pitch" line:

    "Want something that folds perfectly to A4? A3. Want an extra fold before you get there? We have A2!"
