Back of the envelope on storage capacity: - Looks like about 200x200 px grid - 200x200 = 40,000 total possible bits - Assume only 75% of these are available for data due to QR structure and redundancy features - Leaves about 30,000 bits or 3-4 kb capacity in that one image - Comes out to about 5 reams of paper per mb of data storage

This would be a better "ping pong balls on a plane" interview question for comp sci candidates.

So one page of paper can store one page of data?
