Can You Solve These Puzzling Slices?
You're presented with three geometrical puzzles, each requiring careful observation and logical thinking to solve.
The first puzzle involves a square grid with three missing corner cells. Below it is a tile made of three cells in a line. The question is whether you can cover the 33-cell grid with 11 of these tiles. However, covering the entire grid would mean that there must be 11 cells of each colour - blue, yellow and red. But, as it stands, there are only 12 red cells and 10 yellow ones.
The second puzzle asks if you can cut a specific left-hand shape into four identical pieces along the black lines, then rearrange them to form a square. However, despite trying different approaches, this seems impossible with current methods.
A pizza party puzzle involves dividing three pizzas among five people in different ways, resulting in varying numbers and sizes of slices for each person. The goal is to find the smallest number of pieces that would result in an equal distribution of slices.

this first one sounds super tricky lol how can u know if u can cover a 33-cell grid with just 11 tiles?? i mean, think about it...if there are only 12 red cells and 10 yellow ones, that means the blue cells must make up the rest of the total...but what if the tiles cant be arranged in a way that covers all 3 colors equally? 
. The first one is like, what if you do some magic with the grid and the tiles? Like, can you make some of them invisible or something? I've seen people online who claim that using certain algorithms or patterns could solve it... but I'm not convinced 
The only one that's really puzzling is the square thingy... I mean, how can you cut it into four pieces and then rearrange them into a square? That's just not happening in my world 
.
first off, I think it's kinda weird that we're trying to figure out if 11 tiles can cover a 33-cell grid but like there are only 2 extra cells that need some color 
idk man, maybe someone needs to come up with a super clever pattern? 
as for the second puzzle... I don't know if it's impossible to cut the shape into 4 identical pieces but I'm all for trying different methods 
I mean, who doesn't love a good brain teaser, right? 
and lastly, the pizza party puzzle seems like a pretty chill problem 
I think finding the smallest number of pieces that would result in equal slices is def possible - we just need to get creative with the division 
We need more red cells than what we have. Maybe we should try breaking this down into smaller parts or think of alternative ways to arrange these tiles... 
... just doesn't seem feasible 
. What do you guys think tho? Should I keep trying or move on to easier puzzles? 
. Like, who thought to put ice cream between two cookies?! Anyway back to these puzzles... I don't think the pizza party one can be solved in like 5 steps or something. We should get a group of friends over and try it out together lol! And omg have you tried their salted caramel cookie? 
but the thing is, there are more red cells than yellow ones 
️ vs 
️. That means if we cover all those tiles, there won't be enough blue space left to go around 
unless... unless we find a pattern? 
I'm thinking maybe each tile has to be placed in a specific way so the colors match up? It's like solving a puzzle inside a puzzle 
but rearranging doesn't seem possible 
. Maybe we just need to find a pattern or use math? 
I'm curious to see the solution, but it looks like this one might be a bit more straightforward 
but now that I think about it rearranging the pieces to form a square might just be possible with some clever folding or something
.
. And the pizza party puzzle is just... whoa, that's like trying to balance an entire social life on your plate 
If you need to divide 3 pizzas among 5 people, you'll always end up with at least 2 slices that are left over. The question is how many pieces can you use to make all the slices equal? Maybe someone out there has figured it out and can share their solution 
and cuttin' up that left-hand shape seems impossible bc u gotta have an even number of pieces to make a square... or can we find a creative way to do it?
