-- 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.
cut anywhere 3 times across but make sure the cuts are equally apart.
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.
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.
Cut it into 64 thin slices. They will be identical.
2/6 = 1/3 Two sixths is also equal to removing two slices of a pie that has been cut into six slices.
cut anywhere 3 times across but make sure the cuts are equally apart.
you can cut two horizontal cuts and one vertical cuts it'll create two columns of three slices now, with the last two cuts run a cut that splits at least four current slices making ten slices total and your last cut should split 5 current slices making 15 total i wish i could show you but it'll give you 15 slices
cut it again. cut it again. tyhfjh

Cuts are normally larger with more bulk, whereas slices are thinner. For example you can slice a cut of beef roast.
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
Two. Two cuts to make one triangle. Another one cut from one side of the already-cut slice.
