Riddle Masters 18.03.2022​

Gooooood Morning Riddle Masters!

As the grandkids would say, TGIF! (Thank Goodness It's Friday!). We love our Friday's because we get to give you lot the third and final riddle of the week, so let's get straight into it, shall we?

Baker, Fred Floury has invented a method of slicing a pancake into eight equal pieces, with only three straight knife strokes. How does he do it?

We think this one is a head scratcher, but let's see how you folks go eh?

As always, a 'spoiler' button will hide yours and others' answers. To reveal those answers simply click the 'spoiler' button, but do your best not to cheat! Even just trying to crack the riddle is good for your brain!

So good luck Ladies and Gents, and Happy Riddle-ing!

cut into four with 1st and second cuts.....then stack on top of each other and cut through the stack with 3rd cut...BINGO...8 slices

With a big family always "measuring" who got more than the other, this one is easy. Cut 1 horizontal slice and stack the 2 halves on top of each other, then cut 3 vertical slices so this makes 8 pieces exactly

Cut pancake in half put 2 halves on top of each other then cut them in half and put the 4 pices on top of each other then cut the last lot in half and you'll have 8 equal pieces using 3 straight cuts presto!

You cut the pancake into four wedges (that takes two cuts) then you place the four wedges on top of each other in a stack. Then you cut the wedges in half (the third cut) .. You end up with 8 wedges.
