Hints

Hint 1: the numbers

Folding only adds numbers together, so the total never changes. Both strips add up to 33. Your largest target number, 13, must be a stack of several cells added together.

Hint 2: the length budget

The strip has 8 cells and the target has 3, so the folds together must remove 5 cells. A fold removes as many cells as its shorter side has.

Hint 3: the first fold

The first fold goes between cell 4 and cell 5, counting cells from the left.

13992→13911
Fold between cell 3 and cell 4. The right side flips over the left side.
