Video Summary

Aladdin's carpet has an equal number of dots on each side, forming a pattern of six dots per side. The fully visible six-dot rows suggest a potential 6x6 dot pattern across the whole carpet, totaling 36 dots. However, the actual pattern comprises only two rows per side, with two rows effectively missing from the center, leading to four missing dots. Thus, subtracting these from 36 yields 32 dots. The correct answer is option E, where the reasoning confirms that while 36 dots would be possible if fully covered, folding results in a total of 32 dots on the carpet.
