I’m surprised nobody got the correct solution.

  1. Mr. Ackoff’s daughter had half the solution. Make three parallel mountain folds passing through three dots each. Between each pair of those folds, make a valley fold so that the creases of all three folds meet. Then take Mr. Ackoff’s daughter’s pen and draw a single line along the three creases.
