[Origami] NOVA - Origami Revolution

[Dee and Bob]

Watched this wonderful show last night - amazing! I was glad to see some
familiar faces and there were a LOT of new names! Cool!

I had to laugh, though, one young man in the protein lab (I have forgotten
his name) was talking about how a flat piece of paper that has been creased
can be folded back into what it was by following the creases - which is
what they are trying to do with the proteins to cure disease. I looked at
the paper he was holding and told my husband - that's a crane. About 10
seconds later he held up a crane. :-)

It was a neat show! Congrats to all!

Re: [Origami] Flexagon based puzzles

[David Mitchell]

Just a quick toot to say that I am trying to add more diagrams for this type
of puzzle to my Puzzles page at http://www.origamiheaven.com/puzzles.htm

So far I have added diagrams for Robert E Neale's Sheep and Goats and my own
Night and Day (both derived from the same flexagon) and for my Purgatory
puzzle, in which the challenge is to pass a rather large object through the
centre of a flexagon-like mat.

If you have any ideas for other puzzles which should be featured here please
let me know.
