Given a rectangular (cuboidal for the puritans) cake with a
rectangular piece removed (any size or orientation), how
would you cut the remainder of the cake into two equal
halves with one straight cut of a knife?

Answer Posted / lekha

But the question is to cut itin one straight cut. So let it
be cut anywhere in the cuboid. But as it is a rectangle.
Cutting it horizontally through height( slicing along height
as we slice butter on bread:) ) would make an equal half.
