Abstract
Abstract It is known that a general quintic equation cannot be solved by an ordinary origami construction. Alperin and Lang showed that three simultaneous folds leads to a solution of the general quintic equation. In this paper we improve their result and show that two simultaneous folds are sufficient to solve the general quintic equation.
