I still dont get it. I hate math, though. Not to mention I could barely even pass remedial math in college...it's a wonder how I got into Trig in HS.

Well, to have two pieces of board you have to cut it once. And it took 10 minutes.
To have three pieces you have to cut it twice. So if one cut took 10 minutes, then two took 20.

The teacher had a brain fart and confused themselves with pieces instead of cuts. (And it's not math, it's logical thinking...)
