The maximum number of two-dimensional divisions by three lines is 7 parts : the first two lines do not intersect at the center of the square, but are offset, allowing the third line to create a triangular area (which may or may not include the center). The seven areas will not be equal in size, consisting of 6 rhombi and the central triangle.

How can you divide a clock into three equal parts with two lines?
To divide a clock into three equal parts using two lines, the lines must intersect at the center of the clock face. You can draw two lines from any point on the clock face that intersect at the center of the clock, effectively dividing it into three equal parts.
