text: 'When can a polyomino piece of paper be folded into a unit cube? Prior work
studied tree-like polyominoes, but polyominoes with holes remain an intriguing
open problem. We present sufficient conditions for a polyomino with hole(s) to
fold into a cube, and conditions under which cube folding is impossible. In particular,
we show that all but five special simple holes guarantee foldability. '

all other participants for a fruitful atmosphere.
