Undergrad Can a cube be cut in 27 smaller cubes in less than 6 cuts?
In simple terms.. if you make a,b and c number of cuts along length,breadth and height , you'll have (a+1)*(b+1)*(c+1)=27. And for a+b+c to be minimum, the optimal solution is a=b=c .. and that leads to a=b=c=2. hence total number of 6 cuts. I don't think it can be better than this. But...- akhil982
