Nature doesn鈥檛 trust us anymore. We have depleted it of many of its resources without having the capacity to understand the effect of our behaviors on the balance of nature. Depletion of fish resources, the emergence of pets and the permanent...

Alex has a birthday party, and he's invited 8 of his friends to attend. Seven of them have accepted and showed up. They are about to cut the cake (markings on the cake's perimeter have already been made) when the 8th friend, who is also his best...

So, the solution I had in mind for the problem is the one that Lada came up with. An alternative solution that's equally valid consists of a 3-D approach to the problem. This involves cutting the cake into 8 equal pieces on the x-y plane and in 9 equal pieces on the z-axis (9 layers). Effectively, we get 8x9=72 small pieces, which we divide among the 9 cake-eaters, each getting 8 of them.
As for the gift that's most suitable for Alex, this would be a regular bike, since he's probably in the mid-school age group and although he would love a motorcycle, it wouldn't be responsible to give him one (also the bike with training wheels is something he wouldn't value much unless he traded it for additional cake!).
Note that the same problem lends itself to 25 persons sharing the cake, though in this case, the former solution would be more practical. Cheers

By the way, the purpose of this problem is to hone one's problem-solving skills and, if so inclined, exercise one's creativity. I find such problems fun and educational, definitely more interesting than the stuff we have encountered at school. I hope you view it this way also :-)
