You may notice the first half of these instructions are similar to the instructions for a working nuclear fusion device. After the first few dozen steps, be sure to press down firmly and fold quickly to overcome fusion pressure.

I think she didn't fold it in half then half. Buy I'm not sure.

She did, after deriving the formula for the needed paper size. Also, the Mythbusters seemed to have used a steamroller, so I wonder if it was still a folded piece of paper, or more a block of paper similar to how damascus steel is made.
