Hi,

I was wondering if you guys have a way of folding the following:

The aim is to fold a paper into 4 equal squares. Then fold it in a way so one of the squares is not visible, such in the picture below.

(Sorry if this is stupidly easy but I havent figures it out yet :-))

Its a 1:3 rectangle.
You'll end with 4 square flaps which you basically can fold from left to right. The only problem are the two triangular flaps at the back. So if you want your result you need to fold one of the four square flaps to the back, instead of doing it on the front.

Hope you get what I mean and it's okay.

I tried with scrap paper.

From the front view this works.
