@alisonkiddle@mathstodon.xyz @mattp@mathstodon.xyz Should be possible intuitively. It should be possible to split any shape in two equally sized parts along any direction (by a lose definition of two parts, for example an S split vertical will actually be four parts 🙂). Then it should be possible to find a cut that split both the bun and the cherry in half. #proofLeftToTheReader To complicate the problem add a strawberry or require the number of raisins in each part of the bun to be equal if they are not uniformly distributed.
