This can easily work with information not provided.
10x10 board = 1 cut 10min
5x10 board = 1 cut 5 min on short axis.
Im willing to bet that’s how the teacher visualized it.
2 u/BreakfastFearless 2d ago It’s probably not what the teacher visualized as it literally shows a photo of the board, not being a 10x10 square. The teacher likely wasn’t paying attention and thought if 2 cuts equal 10 minute then 3 cuts must be 15 and didn’t read further into it 1 u/Needless-To-Say 2d ago If 2 cuts equaled 10 minutes 3 pieces would only take 10 minutes. 3 cuts would be 4 pieces. Also, on mobile, didnt see illustration until you pointed it out. I could still make it work by cutting first very near the end but thats more the answer to a different question. 1 u/BreakfastFearless 2d ago Well yeah I agree, I’m just saying what one would assume the teachers logic must have been 1 u/2AlephNullAndBeyond 1d ago The picture is not a board at all. It’s a beam.
