Ok, another easy one, while people ponder my hard one

A large sheet of paper is 0.1mm thick. A man amuses himself by tearing it in half and putting both pieces together, and then tearing those into four sheets, and repeating the process until he has done it twenty-five times.

How high is the stack of paper now?

A) As thick as a book
B) As high as a man
C) As high as a house
D) As high as a mountain

A machine that makes thread doubles the amount of thread it contains once a minute. After 60 minutes, the machine has filled completely. At what time was the machine half full?

In answer to the paper one.

0.1x2^25 = 3355443.2mm

So the answer would be ~3355.44M

That's about as tall as mount wildhorn in the bernese alps, so I would say mountain.

Am I right???
