The punch passes through the flap and the sheet beneath, leaving two holes when opened.

Question 2

A paper is folded in half three times, then one hole is punched. How many holes appear when unfolded?

Three folds make eight layers, so one punch creates eight holes.

Question 3

A square is folded diagonally corner to corner, and a hole is punched in the middle of the long folded edge. After unfolding, the hole lies on which line?

The diagonal crease

Answer

Punching on the diagonal fold places the single hole directly on the diagonal crease line.

Symmetry across a horizontal line indicates the crease was horizontal, meaning a top-to-bottom fold.
