I have never thought of programming for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out. That is the reason why I code.

Re: Math

Is there a mathematical way to wrap presents using only one sheet of paper?

I have a solid that has a square top, a square bottom, and trapezoidal sides.

Maybe if I put the largest square on a sheet of square paper, then fold each side up ignoring the excess, then I can fold the excess over to the side. OR... I can fold the excess as I'm folding up the sides so it looks neater. The last corner will be hard, though, because it'll have to go inside something that's already folded.

I think this is just origami, not math.

What about a frying pan? Lol.

Depends how exactly you define a sheet of paper, how you allow yourself to fold, and whether you are allowed to make cuts. If you allow any shape of paper or allow cuts (and sufficiently large paper) then you can just make a net of the shape of the present and be fine. If you allow yourself to fold however you want, you can probably wrap whatever you want with a large enough sheet of paper, it just may look extremely bad. I don't know beyond that for now.
