Birthday CakeMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
Suppose you are given a birthday cake which is round in shape (like a perfect circle) and you are asked to make eight equal pieces out of it by using a knife only three times. How would you proceed?
AnswerUse the knife a first time to cut it across one of its diameters. Then use the knife a second time to cut across another diameter and you will have four equal parts. Use the knife a third time to cut the cake horizontally, half way across its thickness, and you have the eight equal pieces!!!Hide What Next?
