CSAIL Annual Meeting 2012 Puzzle
In what has become a regular event, Erik Demaine and
Martin Demaine give out
puzzles each year at our lab's Annual Meeting.
Here is the 2012 edition.
This puzzle is inspired by another
folding puzzle
designed by Tsugumitsu Noji of Puzzlein, Japan.
Rules
You can fold the puzzle anywhere, but you may not cut it.
The primary goal is to fold the 5 × 5 puzzle down to
a 3 × 3 square that shows the CSAIL/MIT logo on one side.
For additional challenge, you can add the secondary goal of keeping the
back side completely white.
Printing Notes
The puzzle was designed for color printing, but it will work fine
on a black-and-white printer.
The PDF file is the best combination of printing quality and small file size.
The PostScript file also has ideal printing quality, but the file is larger.
In either case, you need a suitable
viewer.
Alternatively, you can print one of the images.
If you can print images scaled to fit, use 150dpi.
Otherwise, use 72dpi.
