Paper folding is a classic spatial-reasoning task. A square sheet is folded once or twice, a hole is punched through all the layers, then the sheet is unfolded. Work out the resulting pattern of holes.

This measures spatial visualisation and mental transformation: predicting the holes that appear when a folded, punched sheet is opened out. It tests stepwise visual reasoning under transformation.
Reverse the folds in turn, mirroring every existing hole across each fold line as you go. Each fold doubles the holes, so one fold gives two and two folds give four.
The final pattern is always symmetric across the fold lines. If an option breaks that symmetry, or has the wrong number of holes, you can rule it out without finishing the unfold.
