-- Place the bagel on the table.
-- Turn the knife sideways, parallel to the table.
-- Slice the bagel through, sideways, giving you two disks, one on top of
the other. Cut #1 is done.
-- Turn the knife into the vertical plane, with the sharp edge down.
-- Slice downward through the bagel, giving you two half-circles on top of
two more half-circles. Cut #2 is ended.
-- Walk 1/4 of the way around the table. In either direction. Tsup to you.
-- Dispatch the bagel once more with your trusty blade, cutting perpendicular
to the latest cut. Cut #3 has been completed.
-- Now you have 4 quarter-circles on top of 4 more quarter-circles ... 8 pieces
in all.
If you began with a symmetrical bagel and have performed your tasks with skill
and dedication, then the 8 volumes are equal. The cream cheese will surrender
willingly.

How do you cut a circle into 8 equal slices in three cuts?
cut anywhere 3 times across but make sure the cuts are equally apart.
How do you cut pizza into eight equal slices using three lines?
Cut it in two halves. Stack the two halves, one on top of the other, and cut the pile in half. Stack the four quarters, one on top of the other, and cut the pile in half. Three cuts, eight slices.
Do you cut a cube into 64 equal parts and show diagram?
Cut it into 64 thin slices. They will be identical.
How can you cut a bagel into 12 pieces with 3 straight cuts?
This is impossible for any convex shape, so one will need to exploit the non-convexity of a bagel. The first cut needs to be such that two u-shapes are left. This is achieved best if the cutting plane is tilted with respect to the planes of symmetry of the bagel. Now, stack the two u-shapes and cut them both into three pieces using 1 cut, cutting of the 'legs' of the u's. Now we have 6 pieces and 1 cut to go, so stack all the pieces and cut right through to give 12 pieces in three cuts.
What is two sixths equal to?

What are different cuts and slices?
Cuts are normally larger with more bulk, whereas slices are thinner. For example you can slice a cut of beef roast.
The maximum number of pieces into which a pizza can be cut by making 6 cuts?
2n or 2 x n because if you cut it one time it will be two slices (1 x 2) it you cut it two times it will be four slices (2 x 2) ''---------------- I am afraid that's not correct. Based on the above for 3 cuts, n=3 and number of slices would be 3x2=6, which is not the correct answer. If the the third cut intersects both the previous cuts at dfifferent points, you would get 7 slices. And if you make a fourth cut in such a way that it intersects previous cuts at different points, you would get 11 slices. (Now slices may be crumb sized, that is a different matter, but mathematically that is the max slices you could make!!) In general, maximum number of slices with n cuts would be (n^2 + n + 2)/2
How many slices of pizza can you get at the most from three cuts of a pizza cutter?
Two. Two cuts to make one triangle. Another one cut from one side of the already-cut slice.
