History of the puzzle[edit]
Although Origami as a toy existed in Japan for at least 600 years, its application to geometry was first described by T. Sundra Rao (India) in 1893. Huzita–Hatori axioms are an axiomatised form of paper folding, described in 1991. The problem that asks whether a given fold pattern can be folded into a flat surface is shown to be NP-complete in 1996. [2]
