Just asking this to see how many people know how to do this and possibly a different way of doing it then I know of.

That took me a second or two. I guess my high-school education from 37 years ago has faded some. laugh.gif

By the way: "Useing"? I guess your high-school education didn't take?

So how did you do it?

Oh and sorry english isnt my first language.

seeing as how I already know how to what reason is there for you to not tell me? I'm just seeing if anyone can do it in a different way...

Let me guess:

YOU USE THE POWER OF YOUR F**KING MIND TO SPLIT THE SH1T OUT OF THAT SQUARE, AND THEN YOU SUMMON ZEUS TO PUT THE FRAGMENTS BACK TOGETHER INTO PERFECT THIRDS, AND THEN YOU KILL ZEUS WITH THE STRAIGHTEDGE AND YOU DIG HIS GRAVE WITH THE PENCIL.

Was I close?

I am afraid that it is you who is wrong. I am obviously correct, as you can plainly see.

I found a few folding techniques from origami sites or quilting sites.
I have another folding technique that I haven't found referenced anywhere.

Got a couple of rather lengthy flat measuring solutions but feel as if there is a simple accepted method that I may have overlooked.

What is your method?
