You can cut a cake into 8 equal pieces by using only 3 cuts. How is this possible?
The “trick” here is to not think of a cake as a two-dimensional circle, as most people tend to, but instead as the three-dimensional cylinder, which it is. This then allows us to not only make the usual vertical cuts, but we can now also make a horizontal cut. So if you use two of your cuts to form a cross on the top of the cake, effectively splitting the cake into four equal parts, and use your third cut as a horizontal cut through the center of the cake, effectively splitting each of the four equal parts in half, you will achieve your 8 equal pieces.
