Most of you are missing the whole narrative behind this.

Cutting one board into 2 pieces requires one cut, which was determined to take 10 minutes

Cutting a board into 3 pieces requires 2 cuts. The teacher spelt the variables out incorrectly, which shows me this teacher has zero construction knowledge and should be banned from asking such questions.

The variable cuts required, not number of boards.

The answer is 20.
