DESCRIPTION:A classic exercise in geometry is to make certain construction
 s using only a ruler and compass. This restriction in what instruments to 
 use was set by Euclid\, the "father of geometry". Some constructions becam
 e famous for being impossible to obtain according to these rules\, for exa
 mple doubling the cube\, trisecting the angle and squaring the circle.\nBu
 t what if instead of Euclid's ruler and compass we use origami? Can origam
 i\, in addition to producing pretty paper animals\, solve these problems f
 rom antiquity?
