Document A Construction by Oliver X

One geometrical construction that has been sought since ancient times is a method of trisecting an angle.
This turns out to be impossible to do with compass and straight-edge but can be done quite simply with just paper.

You, sir, have quadrisected this angle. In a trisection construction, one must produce only three angles.
I thought this was so neat I just had to vote for it. Thanks for the information and origami fun!
