Hints

Hint 1: the numbers

Folding only adds numbers together, so the total never changes. Both strips add up to 60. Your largest target number, 32, must be a stack of several cells added together.

Hint 2: the length budget

The strip has 11 cells and the target has 4, so the folds together must remove 7 cells. A fold removes as many cells as its shorter side has.

Hint 3: the first fold

The first fold goes between cell 10 and cell 11, counting cells from the left.
