    Re: Paper size standards

    It likely has to do with Manufacturing wastes back in the early days. As someone mentioned you would buy paper of a certain width as a sheet (or on a roll) and cut it into various sizes with minimal waste to coat.
    The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

    Re: Paper size standards

    Ha! I remember devising an experiment in high school biology class...where I ran maze trials using pillbugs as subjects in multiples of 44 (maze runs per pillbug) and derived my data from this. "Why, oh why, did you choose this number of runs?" asked my biology teacher. "Well," I replied..."my sheets of notebook paper each have 44 lines!" (poor pillbugs)
