Answer» Make two cuts to divide the cake into 4 (cutting on the diameter of a CIRCULAR cake, the cuts perpendicular to each other). Now, PLACE the 4 sectors of the cake one over the other. Make a cut such that the cut goes THROW the centre cutting each of the cake sectors into HALF. So now we have done 3 cuts. Each SECTOR is cut into two so 42=8. Make two cuts to divide the cake into 4 (cutting on the diameter of a circular cake, the cuts perpendicular to each other). Now, place the 4 sectors of the cake one over the other.
