Type-9: FOLDING PUZZLES

These are puzzles that fold, usually to either make different flat 
pictures or to make different 3-dimensional shapes.  I decided to
break this one into 2 sub-groups:
  (a) Puzzles with an object: These are your classic folding
        puzzles where the object is to make a flat picture or
        a 3-dimensional shape.
  (b) Puzzles that you just make shapes with: These may not
        even qualify as puzzles.  They are things like Rubik's
        snake, that you bend into different shapes.  You can
        challenge people to try to make a particular shape with
        these (making them legitimate puzzles), or you can simply
        let people play with them with no goal in mind.
