Post cutting

1.My guess was way off.  I thought i could do it in one, but it took 4 times.
2. It took us 4 cuts to cut the paper into 12 equal pieces.
3. We folded it a few times then made 4 diagonal cuts.
4. We followed the plan in a way, but it took more cuts then we originally anticipated.
5. Yes it was different then the original plan.  It took 4 cuts instead of one.
