Is it possible to draw an X inside of a Box w/o breaking these rules?

$\begingroup$

The task I have been given is to draw an X in a box with 4 rules in play

Rule 1: you can’t lift your pen off the paper
Rule 2: you can’t overlap, or draw through lines
Rule 3: you can’t draw anything outside of the box
Rule 4: you can’t fold the paper you’re writing on.

I’m starting to feel that it’s impossible

Draw a diamond.

Start from the top of / in \/ and move downward.

Tear the paper horizontally in half at the widest part of the diamond.

Move the top half to below the bottom half.

Through all of this keep your pen at the bottom of \ in /\.
Now you can continue drawing to make a surrounding box.
