    Looks like two pages at a time to me.

      each piece of paper is a page, since they do the front of one and the back of another at the same time, it’s one page total…

        One Sheet, Two Pages A sheet of paper has two sides. Each side is considered one page. So a single sheet of unfolded paper is two pages.

          One sheet, two leaves, four pages.

        Is that why each sheet of paper has the same page number on both sides in books? Oh wait they don’t.
