True. There's always the square equivalent where you cut into nine and remove
the centre square.
Sorry, back up. That's just too weird to contemplate. Cutting a slice of bread
into ninths, not quarters? I mean, even the triangularists still stick to twos
and fours.
Anyway, the bigger question, surely, is does it work as well with 'freedom
toast'? :)
Or do you just keep hacking away at that randomly until there's nothing left...
