Having not been able to find the answer yet, I was wondering if the flap is tricky.

It states that the flap is an isosceles triangle, but while I have assumed the identical sides are the top sides of the flap, it could in theory be the left side and the side crossing the paper, leaving the flap looking rather odd.

If this does not give away to the answer, I would appreciate a clarification on the flap.

Thanks.

No, this is not the case, the isosceles triangle is orientated as shown in the illustration.
Good Luck with the problem!
