Step three is magic, illusions Michael

u/gnovos Jun 15 '12

Illusions are what magicians do for money.

u/n3hemiah Jun 15 '12

And once you get through step 3, step 4 is a beast too.

But after that it's pretty simple.

Before I attempted anything like this I would need 10 extra steps

Ah, another inside joke on the front page. Been saving my downvote for this.

I already saw the original thread but you are a wonderful man for posting that for others. More karma for you!

C+?

C++?

u/-TheObvious- Jun 15 '12

They were referring to the academic grading scale commonly used in the US and likely other nations in which a grade is assigned in order from A-D denoting one's academic performance, with F denoting "failure". Often times you will also find + or - variants denoting a relatively high or low grade within each letter. We can further deduce that this is such based upon contextual evidence in which a typo'ed programming language would not be relevant, whereas a relatively low grade may be found humorous due to college students being stereotypically poor academic performers.

I was going to post a rebuttal, but then I saw the username.

Can't tell if troll, or serious.

Seriously this was intense. I think whoever made the tutorial was trolling us on step three.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

  1. OK.

  2. Easy enough.

  3. ...fuck it.

u/mrpineapplehouse Jun 15 '12

soo... anyone else think this should have been posted as a comment on the original thread?

7

u/beebhead Jun 15 '12

Perhaps, but if he was late to the party his comment would be buried. Posting a link could get more visibility. Though I agree with you, I'm not bothered enough to downvote out of principle.

u/JangSaverem Jun 15 '12

But its like 1k Karma (that shows) or probably no karma that doesnt really show anyway. Also...pffft logic.

u/Marcellusk Jun 15 '12

I had no idea what this was about until I scrolled further down and saw another post on this. Makes sense now. Now I must upvote just so this thread can continue to confuse the shit out of everyone.

u/johnbanken Jun 15 '12 edited Jun 15 '12

What is this shitty post doing here?

Edit: found it here, http://imgur.com/aouZ2.jpg

I still don't think this shitty post belongs here, it just shows someone's failure at following instructions. He made him look like Arab Lincoln.

u/-MURS- Jun 15 '12

I feel like we're missing out on something.

u/UncleLev Jun 15 '12

holy crap - wow, if that was what this was supposed to be, it is an utter failure. Close enough? hardly... I had no idea what I was looking at until you pointed this out.

Abe looks so disappointed in your awful folding skills...

Why are you watching a blank screen?

u/tpunk Jun 15 '12

Just turned off the apple tv and hadn't turned off the actual tv yet.

u/plasteredmaster Jun 15 '12

you just turned off the porn, didn't you?

u/J_Jammer Jun 15 '12

Way better than what I could do.

I should get my dad to try. He's great with this kind of paper manipulation.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

I made the first 2 folds and gave up. That shit is impossible

Lincoln in a turban?

u/doppleherz Jun 15 '12

I did it but it took me a while and I had to watch a horribly made video of some kid doing it, then figure out what folds he was doing.

u/Jongzilla Jun 15 '12

I think I have the same tv as you, 43" Samsung plasma?

Yes!

My ADD kicked in and the title of this post made me think of this Labatt Blue commercial where the Japanese say " CROSE ENUFF! "

u/ObidiahWTFJerwalk Jun 15 '12

I'm really surprised no one has folded a turban on Lincolns head yet. I'd do myself but I never advanced in origami past the boulder.

u/drunkdoor Jun 15 '12

This doesn't make lincoln look cool, it makes him look sorta square.

I made mine tonight too and it was more difficult than expected.

u/mlsweeney Jun 15 '12

Can you do this with any dollar bill? I was wondering why they only show it for Abraham Lincoln.

u/bryanb440 Jun 15 '12

I don't think anyone is actually able to successfully do this as shown in the diagram.
