If you want an even-sized pieces, you can make a 7-slice Pizza. Otherwise, the maximum is 22. (.5x^2 + .5x + 1 is the formula to determine the maximum number of slices if you use "x" cuts.)

The Rule for this would be: (n2 + n + 2)/2 so: (72 + 7 + 2)/2 =(49 + 7 + 2)/2 =(58)/2 =29 29 is the answer.
A pizza can be cut into eleven pieces with 4 straight cuts if an X is cut, then the rest of the pizza is cut starting from the right and working to the left in four straight lines.

Cut a pizza into 2 using one straight cut. Stack the pieces and make a straight cut: you now have 22 = 4 pieces from 2 cuts. Stack these and make a straight cut: you now have 23 = 8 pieces from 3 cuts. Continue. After 7 cuts you can have 27 = 128 pieces. You can reduce the number of pieces to 29 if, after the fourth cut, you stack and cut only 11 pieces and thereafter cut just one each time. There are other options which give the same result.
When a cube is cut by 15 cuts, it can produce a maximum of 27 identical pieces. Each cut can create at most 2 identical pieces, so with 15 cuts, you can get 2 x 15 = 30 pieces. However, 3 of these pieces will be removed as they are the corners of the cube, leaving you with 30 - 3 = 27 identical pieces.

When a cube is cut by 4 cuts, the maximum number of identical pieces obtained can be up to 15. This configuration involves strategically placing the cuts to intersect and divide the cube effectively. Each cut can potentially increase the number of pieces significantly, especially when made through the previous cuts. However, achieving the maximum requires careful arrangement of the cuts.

6 if cut like a normal pizza and 3 if cut without overlapping
You would have 8 pieces of cake. A: I can make ten pieces.
