You have a sheet cake. There is a rectangular piece missing
from the inside of the sheet cake. The location of the
missing piece is arbitrary. I was told I could assume I had
the means to make the cuts. How do you divide the sheet
cake into 2 even proportions with 2 cuts?
First cut along one of the axes of the rectangular cut
through the cake. Next cut along the other axis of the
rectangular cut
through the cake. Now we had two cuts and two even proportions.
