Quiz 107

Can you think of a way to cut a cake into eight equal pieces with only three cuts?     
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       ANSWER: There are actually two clever ways to do it (see below):
Solution 1: Use two cuts to divide the cake into four equal pieces (quarters). For the third cut, cut the cake in half, horizontally. Some pieces may not have any icing, but their size will be equal.
