http://mathpuzzle.com.
A cake with a corner missing can be cut into 7 unequally sized pieces with 3
cuts, following the gridlines. None of the cuts cross themselves, and each
crosses the other cuts exactly once. Following these rules, cut the cake
into 7 equally sized pieces with 3 cuts.
Can any find an equality 4-cut, with 11 pieces?
