From what I understand not all the shapes need to be triangles. We could manage up to 5 parts, but could not do the 6 parts.

Is one allowed to rearrange the parts produced with the first cut before making the second cut? – Hagen von Eitzen Sep 23 '18 at 20:58

Just wondering, @dokidok100, does this problem come from a student at the Russian School of Math? My son just confronted this precise problem this week.... – jbeldock Sep 28 '18 at 04:53

Yes, it's from RSM. We do not to help the kids solving problems from homework. I asked the question online for my own sanity after multiple attempts to find a solution. I am new on this forum. Do you think I have to delete this question? – dokidok100 Sep 29 '18 at 12:07

It does not say, if you can draw a line outside the shape. Thank you. – dokidok100 Sep 23 '18 at 21:32

Well, if it doesn't explicitly state the lines must be fully contained in the shape, isn't it natural to assume it isn't? – YiFan Tey Sep 23 '18 at 21:41
