To cut a doughnut into eight equal pieces with three cuts, start by making the first cut horizontally through the center, which will create two equal halves. Next, make a vertical cut down the center, intersecting the first cut, resulting in four equal quarters. Finally, make a third cut horizontally again, but this time through the middle of the doughnut's height, which will divide each of the four quarters into two equal pieces, yielding a total of eight equal pieces.
