THis gives you a little extra to fold back and then you can sq agin and not be short.
Clear as mud. lol

Move on. Figure it out, or move on. That was the best tip I've ever received. No reason to beat yourself up. If you don't get it now, you will possibly get it later. Try something else.
I hated that advice, but it was right.
