Funny. I got the lines to line up just fine. Just had to follow the existing lines gently and not add any new ones.

And again this might be something that looks confusing at first, but if you get that piece all folded up nicely, and take a look at this a couple times, it will really start to make sense."
To put it in simpler terms, FOLD A WATER BOMB BASE!!!!

"Now this next part might seem a little confusing, but just watch it a couple to get the hang of it. What you're doing is squashing the bottom down, so that it forms a triangle, and when that happens the top is forming a triangle too because of all those guidelines we made. So look at it from the side and you see theres the bottom triangle, then the sides go in and out at the middle, and then a trop triangle. Once you get it all set give it nice creases to flatten out the inside parts.

3:47 Is there a triangle that isn't pointed?

@DandBProductions2101 aren't u a smart one
Grr. I messed up somewhere along the line, 'cause when I got to about 4:20 I realized that the triangle part of my paper wasn't open D: sigh.

@QrtrHrseLvr13 New shapes often take a few tries to figure out. Start again with a fresh piece of paper, and after a few rounds you'll be fine!

There's no "trick" to opening it - you just gently start unfolding it, i.e. you go backwards along the instructions. The whole idea is that you can't open it easily, that once it's unfolded, it stays unfolded.

Such a wonderful idea. I'm relatively new to origami but managed this rather easily. One question though, and perhaps it's a stupid one, but how do you open it afterwards? Maybe I'm patting myself on the back too soon and I did something wrong, but now I can't get it open. It really is a knot LoL

Very carefully! The point is it's hard to open so nobody else could then ever refold it exactly right, to "sneak a look". You would have to ease it open in essence undoing your folds.
