Math FTW!

Interesting but it bugs me that the first example, the square, she does sub-optimally. Make the first fold corner to corner, then the second fold in half in line with the other corner then cut. Two folds, one cut. She does three folds one cut.

Yeah, I though she was going to jump to the diagonals as soon as she started in about efficiency. Bugged me too.

...then I noticed her nail polish and couldn't follow much else.
