Problem
A regular octahedron has eight equilateral triangle faces with four faces meeting at each vertex. Jun will make the regular octahedron shown on the right by folding the piece of paper shown on the left. Which numbered face will end up to the right of ?
Solution 1
We color face red and face yellow. Note that from the octahedron, face and face do not share anything in common. From the net, face shares at least one vertex with all other faces except face which is shown in green: Therefore, the answer is
~UnknownMonkey, apex304, MRENTHUSIASM
Solution 2
We label the octohedron going triangle by triangle until we reach the triangle. The triangle to the left of the should be labeled with a . Underneath triangle is triangle . The triangle to the right of triangle is triangle and further to the right is triangle . Finally, the side of triangle under triangle is , so the triangle to the right of is .

Solution 3 (Fast and Cheap)
Notice that the triangles labeled and make the bottom half of the octahedron, as shown below: Therefore, and are clearly not the correct answer. Thus, the only choice left is .

Solution 4 (Really Simple Reasoning)
The first half of the octahedron will need triangles connected to one another to form it. We can choose the triangles , , , and and form the half around the vertex they all share. That leaves triangles , , , and to form the second half. Triangle will definitely share its sides with triangles and , leaving them to share their second side with triangle . Since triangle will certainly share its left side with triangle , the only triangle left to share its right side is triangle
