Henry Ernest Dudeney/Modern Puzzles/121 - Paper Folding

by : $121$

 * Paper Folding
 * This is a branch of puzzledom both instructive and interesting.
 * I do not refer to folding paper into the forms of boxes, boats, frogs, and such things,
 * for these are toys rather than puzzles,
 * but to the solving of certain geometric problems with paper and fingers alone.
 * I will give a comparatively easy example.


 * Suppose you are given a perfectly square piece of paper,
 * how are you going to fold it so as to indicate by creases a regular hexagon,
 * as shown in the illustration, all ready to be cut out?

 * Of course, you must use no pencil, measure, or instrument of any kind whatever.
 * The hexagon may be in any position in the square.
