Accepted Answer

When a square sheet is folded successively along the dotted lines, the number of layers increases. Punching a hole through all layers results in multiple holes when the paper is unfolded. Typically, folding a square paper twice (once in half and then again) creates four layers. Punching a hole through these layers results in four holes symmetrically placed relative to the center of the original sheet. Hence, when unfolded, the paper shows four punched holes arranged symmetrically.
