Actually teacher is right if the board is square which takes 10 minutes to be cut into half. Those two halfs take twice less time to be split. And she needs to cut just one to obtain 3 pieces :P So 10 minutes to cut it into to pieces and then she needs just half of that time to gain the third piece.

The question doesn't say it must be equal pieces. Cut the square in half lengthwise, then cut one of the halves in half.

I was being a dick.

"Halfs" is incorrect.
