    Here is how this is solved.

    First stage one segment

    second stage 3 segment each 1/3 of the original (like dividing the first one into 3) this creates three bending

    3rd stage each one of the 1/3 long segments is now divided into 4 making a total of 12

    low and behold there is 12 bendings in total

    the idea here is each division is considered a bend
