Did you solve it? Are you cut out for these puzzling slices?

I'm like 75% sure we can cover the grid with those tiles... According to the pigeonhole principle, since there are three colors and only one color per tile, we need at least 33/3 = 11 tiles. However, considering the missing cells, it's possible to fit more than 11 tiles, but not necessarily all of them.

Now, about that left-hand shape... I've got a stat: did you know that there are over 1 million possible ways to cut and rearrange a tetrahedron (that's what the shape looks like) into four identical pieces? Maybe our puzzle isn't unique after all?

As for those pizzas... I've crunched some numbers, and it turns out that we need at least 15 slices to divide them equally among five people. However, if we add one more person, we can get away with only 13 slices! Who knew pizza math was so complicated?

I'm literally not sure if I can even start on these puzzles ... like, I've been thinking about them for hours and I still have no idea what's going on. The first one is all about the grid, but if there are only 12 red cells and 10 yellow ones, then wouldn't that just mean it's impossible to cover the entire thing with those tiles? But wait, some people claim you can do it... I guess I need more coffee or something? ️

And don't even get me started on the pizza puzzle... like, how are you supposed to divide three pizzas into equal slices among five people? You'd have leftovers or someone would end up with way too much cheese . Unless... unless it's actually possible to do that in some kind of weird mathematical way. I'm all confused now .

And then there's the puzzle about cutting a shape into four pieces and rearranging them to form a square... like, how is that even supposed to work? I mean, the black lines are all over the place, but somehow you're supposed to make it fit together perfectly. Maybe I'm just not thinking outside the box enough ... or maybe I'm just completely lost

Omg u r so clever!! I love how these puzzles r testing our brains but also super fun at the same time I think the first puzzle is gonna be a bit tricky, lol who knew there was a math problem behind pizza ! But seriously tho, i'm low-key curious about how u would divide that grid into 11 tiles without having equal amounts of each color - blue, yellow, and red. And omg that second puzzle with the shapes is like, super puzzling but I think rearranging it could lead to a square... fingers crossed! What do u think tho? wanna give it a try together?

Man, I'm all about those brain teasers ... but sometimes I feel like they're just too darn tricky . Like with this pizza party puzzle, for instance - it's all well and good to want to find that sweet spot where everyone gets an equal share of the pie, but come on! 3 pizzas and 5 people? That's a recipe for disaster... or at least, a really big slice of disappointment . I mean, can we just have some straightforward problems for once? You know, like "Can you put this square tile on top of that other square tile?" Yeah, that's more my speed . But hey, puzzle enthusiasts might get a kick out of trying to crack these brain-busters - and who knows, maybe they'll come up with some innovative solution that'll make me go "whoa" ... but for now, I'm good with a simple logic problem, you feel?
