Slicing Pie puzzle (no solution posted yet) on 4/21/2015 2:15:44 AMLet n be the number of straight cuts to be made on a 2D pie, then the number of slices can be given by:
Slices=No.of touchpoints+(No.of intersections-previous lines) where
No.of touchpoints=No.of cuts*2 (points where the lines touch the circumference)
No.of intersections=No.of points within the pie where 2 lines cross each other
No.of previous lines=n-1
and No.of intersections=(n-1*(n))/2
The closed form function= (n*2)+((n*(n-1)/2)-(n-1))
