    Cake
    You have a cake and a knife. You are allowed to cut the cake four times in STRAIGHT lines. What is the maximum number of pieces that you could cut the cake into?

    This sounds like a math question. Not actually related to "food and drink."

    Have you actually drawn a circle and drawn the 4 lines? If not, do that. That's how you will get your answer.

    Hi, mcben!

    It also depends on whether any of the lines can cross each other.

    Can they?

    Thanks!
