Bleaug converts Fox 306 to Fox 302 by "folding" twice. I have seen translation, rotation, similarity, etc., but haven't seen anything like this before. Enjoy and please do respect to human intelligence!

Fox 302 - Solution
To see the animation below, you will need any of the following browsers:
Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, or IE Explorer 9.0.
Bleaug teases the human intelligence, saying:
"I know that analytic solution to this Fox 302 is obvious (although cumbersome). Here is an alternative geometric demonstration. Use Home/PageUp/PageDown/End keys/ or mouse wheel to go though demo steps."
Do enjoy!

Fox 160 - Solutions
Three distinct solutions were found for Fox 160.
Now imagine looking through the tube from one end to the other. You see two squares: a large square at the near end, and a smaller square at the far end. By subtly changing the direction the tube is pointing, the far square may move off centre so that the construction looks like the problem diagram. This will not alter the fact that the four lines meet at a single point. QED!
Analytic Geometry by Bob Ryden:
Observe that proving DH implies CG as well (due to rotation). Neat!

Thy heart yearns to fly in the heavens,
Yet there are knots pulling thou,
to the darketh corners.

Think simple.
Math has nothing to do with numbers.
Try to see the connections.

Uniqueness!
Uniqueness!
Whole universe is crying out for uniqueness.
Once you see it,
you'll forget your uniqueness.
