Cake cutting puzzle
14 is the max I can think for know .i will think about more later
the max number of pieces by 4 cuts is 16
How?
round cake…with 2 cuts 1 from east to west and 2nd from north to south.. (4) piecs
place the pieces in row like like in east to west direction join 2nd piece head with 1st piece tail then join 3rd piece head with 2nd tail so on ….and cut them east to west direction (8)
re-arrange the pieces in north to south direct in a form of row head of all in east direction and tail in west… place them close to each other…. cut them in north to south direction… (16)
:p
As of now, I am just considering cutting the cake as same as cutting the circle.
For 1 – max 2
2 – max 4
3 – max 7
4 – max 11
5 – max 16
So, we will get 11 maximum pieces for 4 vertical cut.
the maximum pieces should be 16. because we know that from 3 cut we get the maximum 8 pieces and after that we put all the pieces one after the other i.e above of one piece, then we get 16 pieces by one single cut from he above..
The max number of pieces by 4 cuts is 16 on a round cake. If we make two cuts from top to bottom we get 4 pieces. now if we cut from right to left we will get 8 pieces. If we made 3 cuts at the 1st step we will get at the 2nd step 12 pieces but we can take all the 8 pieces and put them in a row or one over the other and then make the 3rd cut.
