Paper folding

Fold a sheet in your mind. Where will its holes appear when it opens?

6 questions · Explanation after each answer

Try six questions.

Follow the folds, then imagine opening the paper again.

Example

1. Flat paper
2. Fold right half left
3. Fold bottom half up, then punch

How to play

Read the diagrams from left to right. A left fold moves the right half onto the left half. An up fold moves the bottom half onto the top half. A punch passes through every layer. Unfold in reverse order, reflecting each hole across each crease.

Select one of four answers, then choose Check answer. You can change your selection before checking. Read the explanation and continue when ready. Keyboard: Tab to the answers and use the arrow keys to change your choice.

Solving time excludes setup, explanations and background tabs. The optional challenge gives you two minutes of solving time across six questions. When time runs out, unanswered questions count as incorrect. Timed and untimed results stay separate.

A new round needs an internet connection. Once loaded, all six questions work on your device. Completed rounds and timed-out challenges are saved; ending early is not saved. Your individual answers are not uploaded.

These are original reasoning puzzles for practice, not a validated IQ test. Results describe this activity, not your intelligence.
