I like the paper folding one-- what is the answer? Isn't it something
like the distance from earth to the moon or something?

This one is a bit of a stretch for the availability heuristic (it is
tough to imagine folding a piece of paper that many times), but it is
foolproof. I have YET to have a student even came close to the right
answer.
If you had a huge piece of paper and could fold it 100 times in half
each time, how thick would the folded paper be?

Hi Tipsters--
I'm going to be covering heuristics in a week, and I need
demonstration/activity for the availability heuristic. In years past,
I used a handout comparing causes of death (such as asthma, lightning
strike, stroke, tornado, all accidents, etc) but have found it to no
longer work (most students answer the items correctly). Any ideas of
something new and different to try?
Thanks,
Julie Osland
