Extract

The flexagon was defined by Mr R. F. Wheeler (M. G. 1958, p.1) as a strip of equilateral triangles which can be folded in various ways into a hexagon to exhibit different colour combinations. Can this idea be generalised? Suppose a plane figure to consist of m regular n-gons, with a common vertex, which can be folded together in pairs.
