- jobigoud 7y agoWith a second stack you could use the original numbering of the article in an even simpler way: read a page, put it on top of another stack (no need to flip). When your original stack is empty, flip the entire second stack once. Now it's correctly ordered for the second half.
- yoz-y 7y agoActually, I haven't even thought of that, you are absolutely right! Flipping the paper just seems so natural.
- OJFord 7y agoI thought the same - then it also works with binding, since you can just get to the end, flip the whole stack over, and read through the reverse sides. That extends to triple-sided (and beyond) too, 1/8/9; 2/7/10; 3/6/11; 4/5/12.
- sreekotay 7y agoTend to agree. And if you rotated the "other side" pages 180 degrees (8,7,6,5) it would work even if stapled or bound -- just flip the whole thing and keep reading.
