183.--DRAWING A SPIRAL.

Make a fold in the paper, as shown by the dotted line in the

illustration. Then, taking any two points, as A and B, describe

semicircles on the line alternately from the centres B and A, being

careful to make the ends join, and the thing is done. Of course this is

not a _true_ spiral, but the puzzle was to produce the _particular_

spiral that was shown, and that was drawn in this simple manner.
