carbon copies

A person placed 3 sheets of paper and 2 carbon to get 2 extra copies. he then folds them in such away that the upper half is above the lower half. now how many carbon copies does he get?

hey abhishek..
welll there will still be only 2 copies...
as the third sheet has no carbon behind it so the second half of this (3) sheet would not get anything written on it hence as a result the second halves of the other 2 sheets also would have nothing written on them

we will get an impression only at those parts where the carbon paper touches the sheets
when we fold them the carbon will still touch only at 3 sides of the sheet so we will get only three impressions
ie one on each sheet
