I want to make a sculpture out of 1,000 paper cranes. I have sometime to work on it, but not months. Has anyone ever known someone to do this, or done this themselves? How much time should I allow for such a project?
Do one and time it, then multiply by 1000. Subtract some time because you will get faster from experience.
It depends on how big they are, and how fast you are at folding. If you can fold one crane a minute, 1000 minutes would translate to about 17 hours. How you then spread out 17 hours of paper folding is up to you.
I think it will be hard to tell, the easiest form to calculate is the time to make one crane times 1000. However, as long you fold you will get a little bit exhausted therefore you should add 1/5 of the total times to make of the 1000 cranes, good luck!
