A pen and paper challenge: Draw a pentagon on a piece of paper
- only draw straight lines
- draw less than 5 times!
- The pentagon has to be fully drawn in ink, on the paper in unfolded state.
I am not looking for creative answers, e.g.:
- do not move the paper while drawing a line
- ink does not leak though a next layer of the paper (if it is folded)!
The ideal answer:
- Shows how it is done
- Uses the minimum amount of lines possible
- Proves that is minimal
as bonus: Also tells/explains the minimum for an octagon
If a solution with a hole gives a better answer; I'd like both answers (i.e. with and without).
