Intriguing!

Since there are at most 7 folds and 128 cuts, I just bruteforced the problem by unfolding the paper and keeping track of all cuts.

Was a smarter solution expected?

My answer is late, but I just finished this problem today. I found a simple task very helpful -folding-paper. I used the solution of that problem as a basis, and found the right way.

Hi @NicknamedTwice, I got failure on last validator, any chance you could DM me the test case?

yea it was a mathematical trick, i posted the solution as my current ruby and python one on the puzzle

sorry but i dont know if thats cheating or not?

It’s better not to send any validator, private message or not.

@Konrad_Wer Can you describe your current approach without showing any code?
