Proposition. The stabilizer of a generalized quaternion origami for the action of the group GL(2,Z) is a congruence subgroup of index 3 or 6.

Theorem. For any even natural n, the length of a shortest integer sequence on a circle containing all permutations of the set {1,2,...,n} as subsequences is at most n2/2.
