Can you cut up an old playing card to make a hole big enough to walk through?

Well, the only logical explanation would e cut the hole so large that there is no card left! It may sound stupid but unless your extremely tiny it is not logically possible.

It does sound impossible, doesn't it? Have you clicked on the link to see how someone else got started on the problem? That might give you some ideas.

Would you cut the card in a thin spiral manner?making one large single thread?
