A day is never exactly 24 hours long.
It can be as much as 50 seconds more or less depending on the season.
Even averaged over a year it's not quite 24 hours,
So every once in a while a leap second is added which can cause all sorts of problems with atomic clocks, computers and stuff.
Since it started in 1972 a second has been added 26 times, the last one being on June 30th his year when we all became 1 second older.

What is the maximum number of times a piece of paper, (any size) can be folded?
Evening, Ken, how was the new assignment?
I always say 12 times if you mean folded in half, but some people now claim 13.
Just folded would depend on the size of paper and in theory could be infinite.
