Quiz: Match the origami folds

I just watched Between the Folds, a fascinating documentary about fine artists and theoretical scientists who fold paper. I think Alex and I said "wow" out loud about five times each. Just for fun, take this quiz to see if you can figure out what each origami diagram creates when folded.

    6 out of 10, but I hurried and didn't study them too hard. :)

    5 out of 10 ain't bad. My husband and I watched Between the Folds a few weeks ago and we said 'wow' alot more than five times. Easily amused/impressed, maybe? :)

    We also loved that documentary. My son is not only fascinated by origami but does it very well. We are always on the lookout for new books.

    Saw that movie and was completely taken by it. Amazing. And so mathematical, which is precisely what scares me awqy from it.
