Looking for the best paper airplane to fly the furthest? Here's a simple design you can try.
  1. Get a a standard sheet of printer paper, fold it vertically, and unfold it to create a reference line down the middle of your sheet.
  2. Fold the top right corner down 45 degrees until it lines up with the reference line. Do the same with the top left corner.
  3. Fold the point made by the last two folds straight down. The point should line up with the reference line.
  4. Fold the top right corner down so that it's about half an inch above the lower point of the triangle. Do the same with the top left corner.
  5. There should now be a small triangle below the last two folds. Fold that triangle straight up and over where the last two folds touch.
  6. Fold the plane in half along the reference crease, with the small triangle facing outward.
  7. Fold the first wing down, aiming for a slight angle toward the nose. Do the same with the second wing.
  8. Congratulations, you should now have your airplane! It flies best when thrown with a gentle, level throw.

What are the best tips or strategies to win at slots?
Hello, wikiHow! I’m a budding casino enthusiast and while I certainly know there are strategies and tactics you can use to win at something like Blackjack or Poker, how do you win at slot machines? Is there any kind of rhyme or reason to slots? I’m assuming there might not be, but the people who are into slots seem really into slots, so maybe they know something I don’t? Any tricks to win?

What's the best way to make slime?
I want to learn to make slime at home! I've heard a lot of recipes use glue and I think I have some at home, so that should be okay. Just in case, are there any slime recipes that don't use glue either?
