I think the step you mean is the twist – look at step 19 again and notice how the bottom and the top rotate in different directions. One you start this, the model will begin to collapse. You continue this until it collapses entirely in step 20.

OK, I had a lot of fun folding, but I’m hopelessly stuck at the “fold it thusly” step. Any tips?

Oh, I’ll be there next time. Though my wife says not, I think there must a train that goes all the way across the isthmus.

And if the beer is hot, we’ll throw cinammon and cloves in it and learn to like it. But I hope they’ll have fireproof paper.

Thanks for thinking globally – You’d better get used to it, since, next time I’ll not accept any excuses for not coming here.

As for going to hell, don’t worry, we’ll have a great time when we meet there (along with all my other friends). The only problem is that the beer will be hot…

Mystery dealt with. A coworker said after the last pdf file she opened issues arose, so I just downloaded Adobe Reader again. I guess it was a previous pdf that was hostile. Thanks though, nice instructions.

My final destination has never been that much in doubt, so no, I was speaking of the PDF. That Ann Coulter is still talking about me, well, that is a bit of a surprise. Man, that’s one bitter lassie.

It sounds to me like a problem of Acrobat Reader and Internet Explorer not jibing on version numbers. You could get a new version of Reader.

In the meantime, I will suggest right-clicking (or command-clicking, if you’re of the Apple ilk) and Saving As. Once you have the PDF local, I think it will open normally. If not, we will begin again.

Are you surprised the pdf isn’t opening or that you’re going to hell (Ann Coulter told me so).

To address the 1st thing it shows a little rectangle with little geometric figures in it (red square, blue triangle, and a green circle)

To address the 2nd…you should know that all liberals are doomed.

Chrisitne,

I’m surprised to hear it – what sort of error message are you getting?
