Tricky Troublesome Trisection (Posted on 2007-02-19) Difficulty: 3 of 5

(That is, you are not allowed to use anything but your hands, and you cannot do anything but folding... everything else is forbidden!)

Right.

I've been doing exactly this to fit letters into envelopes for donkeys' years.

By the way, how does one "hold paper like an S"?
