Crowdsourcing a question
You know those kids' folded paper puzzles that display different pictures or words depending on how you refold them, like the one on the Community opening credits?
1 - What do you call those?
2 - If you don't mind answering, what country/approximate region of that country do you live in? (You can be as specific or vague as you like - I just think this is probably one of those things that's called different things in various places, and the character I'm writing grew up somewhere specific, so I'm curious what word she might use for it in her internal narration.)

Wikipedia tells me it's also sometimes called "Himmel oder Hölle" (heaven or hell) or "Pfeffer und Salz" (pepper and salt) or "Schnipp-schnapp" (snip-snap), and I've heard "Schnipp-schnapp" before but not the other versions.
(Schnipp-schnapp is supposed to be a Swiss version, but I must have heard it in either Germany or Austria as a kid.)
