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.

You would have 8 pieces of cake. A: I can make ten pieces.
With 10 straight cuts, you can create a maximum of 56 pieces of pie. This is based on the formula for the maximum number of pieces ( P(n) = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} + 1 ), where ( n ) is the number of cuts. For 10 cuts, substituting into the formula gives ( P(10) = \frac{10 \times 11}{2} + 1 = 56 ).
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.) If you want even-sized slices, you can make a 7-slice pizza. Otherwise, the maximum number of slices is 22.

6 if cut like a normal pizza and 3 if cut without overlapping
9 pieces
One horizontal cut, one vertical cut (north-south), one vertical cut (east-west). That will get you 8 pieces.
If no cut intersects any previous cuts, then you can just slice it into 14 pieces.

If you do not re-stack the pieces, then 15 cuts.
