examine an index card. take note of its size and shape. your mission is to fit yourself through the card.
the rules are......you can only tear and fold the card......you CANNOT use tape, glue, or anything else to hold the card together.
i am pretty sure that i have it figured out, but i need to make sure and see what everyone else comes up with. thank you so much!!

Simple..rip the card starting on 1 corner in a continuos 1/8th" strip until you reach the center (a big circle) and fold the two ends together. It should fit over his entire body

Tear the card in a spiral form beginning at the outside edge and working into the middle. Try to get the torn section as thin as possible without breaking so that it can then be "unwound" to fit around the child, and slid down from the head to the foot.

How much of yourself do you have to fit through the card? If it's just a finger, you could just poke a hole in the middle.
Man, public school is really going to hell in a handbasket...glad I never had to fit myself through an index card.
You're a nice mommy to care.

um, are you sure you got this right? You can't fit yourself through and index card.....This question isn't making any sense...
