1-7.	Paper Folding, 490+630+300+230+190+800+720 points

From the IB:

"Perform a series of folds on some of the papers to create separate pieces which can be arranged to make images from the given inventory. Each image has its own point value and your team’s score is the total value of the images you have made and presented ‘concurrently’ by the end of round. Folds can only be made along the grid lines. Folded pieces cannot overlap one another. Complete the images exactly as they are given, without any gaps.

In addition to basic folding operations, papers can be folded to create two or more crease lines at once. This is permissible, provided that after every operation the paper is flattened cleanly and all creases are on grid lines. Papers cannot be torn or crumpled."
