Problem
A square piece of paper is folded twice into four equal quarters, as shown below, then cut along the dashed line. When unfolded, the paper will match which of the following figures?

Solution
Notice that when we unfold the paper along the vertical fold line, we get the following shape:
/* Diagram by TheMathGuyd. Edited by MRENTHUSIASM */ size(90); path sq = (-0.5,0)--(0.5,0)--(0.5,0.5)--(-0.5,0.5)--cycle; path trE = (-0.25,0)--(0.25,0)--(0,0.25)--cycle; real sh = 1.5; filldraw(shift((sh,-sh))*sq,mediumgrey,black); filldraw(shift((sh,-sh))*trE,white,black); <> Then, if we unfold the paper along the horizontal fold line, we get the following shape: <asy> /* Diagram by TheMathGuyd. Edited by MRENTHUSIASM */ size(90); path sq = (-0.5,-0.5)--(0.5,-0.5)--(0.5,0.5)--(-0.5,0.5)--cycle; path sqE = (-0.25,0)--(0,-0.25)--(0.25,0)--(0,0.25)--cycle; real sh = 1.5; filldraw(shift((sh,-sh))*sq,mediumgrey,black); filldraw(shift((sh,-sh))*sqE,white,black); (Error making remote request. Unknown error_msg)
[working version of the diagram (harshu13)]:
![[asy] size(90); path sq = (-0.5,0)--(0.5,0)--(0.5,0.5)--(-0.5,0.5)--cycle; path trE = (-0.25,0)--(0.25,0)--(0,0.25)--cycle; real sh = 1.5; filldraw(shift((sh,-sh))*sq,mediumgrey,black); filldraw(shift((sh,-sh))*trE,white,black); size(90); path sq = (-0.5,-0.5)--(0.5,-0.5)--(0.5,0.5)--(-0.5,0.5)--cycle; path sqE = (-0.25,0)--(0,-0.25)--(0.25,0)--(0,0.25)--cycle; real sh = 1.5; filldraw(shift((sh,-sh))*sq,mediumgrey,black); filldraw(shift((sh,-sh))*sqE,white,black); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/a/1/ea168c59de1838ccc582149a810ed68af3cb9940.png)
