Okay. This is my better guess.
One line can intersect three other lines at the most three points. So you have: 3 pts for 4 lines + 2 pts for 3 lines + 1 pt for 2 lines Use the sum of series to get total points: n(n+1)/2 3 pts(3 pts+1)/2 3(4)/2 6 max intersecting pts Which yields 11 slices. Fingers crossed. |

Fingers crossed. That's right Tulip. You have the right answer and the right approach. Excellent job !! |

16 lukin I could do up to 11 pieces...I wonder how could you make 16 pieces with 4 straight cuts. I think this is impossible. |

Not sure. I can make 14 3D. A horizontal slice and vertically, 3 slices with three intersecting pts. Have to be a pizza pie though.
