A paper is folded in half once and two holes are punched, both on the fold line. How many holes appear when unfolded?
Answer: 2
Holes punched on the crease do not duplicate, so two punches give two holes.
Folding a square accordion-style into three equal panels, then punching one hole through all panels, yields how many holes?
Answer: 3
Three panels mean three layers, so one punch produces three holes.
A square folded in half shows, when unfolded, a single hole on the crease and two holes off to the sides. The minimum number of punches made was:
Answer: 2
One punch on the fold gives the center hole and one punch off the fold gives the symmetric pair, totaling two punches.
A paper folded into quarters has a hole punched midway along one folded edge (not at a corner). How many holes appear unfolded?
Answer: 4
Four layers and a single punch give four holes, mirrored across both fold lines.
When a diagonally folded square is punched once off the crease, the two resulting holes are symmetric about:
Answer: The diagonal line
A diagonal fold reflects the punch across the diagonal, so the holes mirror about that diagonal.
A paper folded in half top-to-bottom is punched once in the lower portion of the folded sheet. After unfolding, the two holes are:
Answer: Symmetric above and below the horizontal crease
A horizontal fold reflects the punch vertically, placing one hole above and one below the crease.
If a folded-paper puzzle shows eight identical holes after unfolding, the paper was most likely folded:
Answer: Three times
Eight holes from one punch require eight layers, which comes from three folds.
