you can divide it with some lines crossing over and they are close together.
New Entry:
I can make maximum of 7 sections ( in addition to 4,5, and 6).
To do that, make a plus "+" sigh dividing circle into 4 parts. Now play with 3rd line to make it cut through three quadrants making an additional 3 sections.
Hint: start third line passing 0,0 and dividing two opposite quadrants. Keep this line moving into one of the quadrants that hasn't been touched. Once you start sliding down (or up or sideways) on to the quadrant (that wasn't divided) you see a total of 7 sections!

Can you divide a square in 2 equal parts in 9 different ways?
Yes you can, but you have to use zig zag lines. Using straight lines there are only four ways to divide a square into two equal parts (along the lines of symmetry).
