How can you hold up 6 textbooks using only one sheet of standard computer paper and masking tape?

This is for a class, and we only get one sheet of computer paper, 6 inches of masking tape, and we have to have the paper support 6 textbooks one inch off of the desk. Please help ):





Thanks!|||Make 1" wide pleats in the paper. Like a fan or accordion. Use the 3" of tape on each end to prevent the fan from spreading too far. I don't know how heavy the textbooks are, but this might work.





Folding adds structural strength to the paper and you may come up with other designs.





Good luck





OK one more thought. Make the fan, tear the paper in two (now 2 fans). Use the tape to tape the 2 fans into 2 cylinders. Carefully balance the books on the cylinders.|||I would buy used at GreenTextbooks.com - Saving the Planet One Textbook at a Time
