Abstract
The recent axiomization of Origami has led to numerous breakthroughs in both mathematics and in
understanding of the ancient art of paper folding. We propose a puzzle whose solution demonstrates the
power of mathematical origami. This puzzle is accessible to the geometry student and could be used as
supplemental geometry instruction as an extension of traditional compass and straight edge constructions.
Detailed images and photos are provided to guide the audience through the puzzle’s solution.
