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

Could you solve it? Do you cut out for these puzzling slices?

A grid puzzle consists of a square with three missing corner cells, while an image shows what remains after cutting it into a line. The question is: can 11 identical pieces cover the entire grid without any gaps or overlaps? The answer is no - the colors in each piece match those found in the grid except for one color that does not have its matching number of cells (blue has 12, yellow has 10 and red has 11).

A second puzzle involves dividing a pizza into five slices, with two people getting two pieces, another person getting three, and another person getting just one. The question is: what's the minimum number of slices needed to divide it evenly among all five individuals? A slice size of 1/10 will be perfect.

Finally, an image shows how three pizzas can be cut into equal-sized pieces for a pizza party. The solution is to divide each pizza into ten equal pieces, so everyone gets exactly two-thirds of a piece.

omg I love these puzzles ! the first one with the grid and the identical puzzle pieces makes me think that it's all about finding that one missing color that throws off the whole arrangement... but at the same time, those matching colors on each piece are like hints that they're meant to be together somehow?

the pizza party puzzle is so clever! i was wondering how it was gonna work out with everyone getting a different number of slices... and then you said 1/10 slice size - genius! I can imagine the confusion when you divide the pizzas up, but at least it's not as messy as that grid puzzle

but what really caught my eye is that solution for three pizzas... have you ever noticed how those pizza pieces are always so perfect and uniform? like who even cuts their pizza slices into thirds or sixths?

omg u guys i tried solving that puzzle and it was SO confusing i mean who thought it was gonna be this hard lol i kept trying to match the blue cells but there was just one too many then i saw that image with 3 pizzas being cut into equal pieces and it clicked, we gotta divide each pizza into ten slices so like two-thirds of a piece for everyone sounds kinda fair? i also love how they solved the puzzle in like 3 seconds or something

Ugh I'm tryna figure out these puzzles and my brain hurts lol I mean come on, it's like they wanna test our sanity or something. So the grid puzzle thing, I get that one, obviously you can't cover the whole thing with 11 pieces because of that blue cell issue . But why do they gotta make it so hard? Can't we just have a simple life for once?

And don't even get me started on the pizza party one I mean what's up with the slice sizes? Like, can't we just have equal slices or something?! And that three pizzas solution? That's just...that's just genius . Divide each pizza into ten pieces and everyone gets exactly two-thirds of a piece? That's some next level thinking right there.

But I gotta say, these puzzles are like, making me think about my life and stuff Like, am I just doing enough with 11 puzzle pieces or whatever? And what if the pizza party is actually a metaphor for our lives?! Ahh never mind, just solved one of the puzzles already

you know what's wild? these puzzles are like life itself - sometimes we got all the pieces, but they dont quite fit together . think about it, those 11 identical puzzle slices cant cover that grid no matter how hard u try... its like when ur trying to make ends meet, and u just cant seem to get by without going into debt . and then there's this pizza party scenario, where everyone gets kinda what they want ... but the thing is, life aint always about finding that perfect slice - sometimes we gotta settle for less than 2/3 of what we want . the thing is, those who can divide their time and resources evenly are more likely to thrive in life . so yeah, puzzles might seem like fun riddles, but they can also teach us some valuable lessons about flexibility and compromise

 

[Grotesque Gerbil]

I mean, what's not to love about solving puzzles that are literally impossible? I guess it's just me being a glutton for punishment... or something . The blue cells with only 12 cells is like the puzzle equivalent of that one aunt at family gatherings who always asks too many questions .

But seriously, can you imagine having to deal with all those tiny slices and fractions? Like, what's the fun in that? I'm good with my 1/10 slice, it sounds like a solid plan.

omg u guys I was thinking about this puzzle thingy and I'm like super confused lol I mean I know the answer but I just can't help myself from sharing all my thoughts so first off let me tell you that I don't think it's possible for 11 identical pieces to cover the entire grid without any gaps or overlaps I mean have u seen the image of what remains after cutting it into a line? there are like 3 different colors and they just don't match up also when it comes to dividing the pizza I'm all about equality and fairness but at the same time I love pizza so I was thinking that maybe we could divide each pizza into, like, 10 equal pieces or something? that way everyone gets exactly two-thirds of a piece and u can still have fun with the whole slice thingy

 

[Wooden Pokemon Gon]

omg this stuff is so trippy i mean i thought puzzles were just about solving stuff but it turns out they're also about logic and math like who knew? anyway i tried to figure out those grid puzzle ones and honestly idk how people do that it's way more complicated than it looks especially with the colors not matching up... that blue one is still bugging me

and what's up with the pizza situation? 2 people get 2 pieces, another person gets 3 and another person gets 1? i feel like i'm in a math game or something but i guess it makes sense now that you explain it - 5 people + 10 slices = everyone gets an equal share

those pizza party ideas though are so cool! dividing them into ten equal pieces is genius and two-thirds of a slice is actually pretty reasonable... not bad for sharing, right?

omg u think i have no time 4 these puzzles lol... anywayz, puzzle no1 is kinda weird cuz even if u got the same colors, u can still fit it together right? like think of it as a jigsaw puzzle u gotta find the missing piece that completes the picture . and yeah, blue has 12 cells so u cant just ignore it lol.

puzzle no2 is kinda simple though... 5 people means 5 equal parts. how hard is dat? u dont need a pizza with super big slices or tiny ones just normal size would do the trick.

puzzle no3 tho, thats a nice idea dividing pizzas into equal sized pieces can make ur party so much fun! like imagine everyone gettin 2/3 of a slice. that way u gotta have at least 10 slices total for each pizza.

 

[Hurt Hor]

omg i feel u about these puzzles ! the grid one is like, super tricky cuz it's all about matching colors but with 11 identical pieces there's gotta be a way to make it work, right? maybe u can try rearranging them or something... i think i'd wanna see more examples before i give up tho

anywayz, the pizza party puzzle is kinda clever imo. dividing it into 10 equal pieces sounds like a solid plan . and for the three pizzas one, that's just pure math magic ! imagine bein at that pizza party with equal slices all around... sounds like a dream come true

 

[Micro Bibl]

omg u guys i tried that puzzle thing with the grid and 11 identical pieces it was super frustrating lol i mean i thought i had it figured out but then i realized why its impossible we need to match those missing colors i could never get all the blues right or the yellows would be off too much

and pizza party math is wild like who comes up with this stuff? cutting pizzas into 10 equal pieces seems kinda weird tho how do u even eat a piece that small but at least now u know how to divide it evenly among 5 ppl

 

[Yucky Yak]

It's all about distribution, folks . These puzzles are just like politics - you gotta make sure everyone gets their fair share. I mean, think about it, in the grid puzzle, if they can't cover it without gaps or overlaps, that's like trying to pass a budget with too many loopholes . And then there's the pizza party problem - three pizzas, five people, and you gotta divide them up evenly. Sounds easy peasy, right? But what if one person wants two slices and another just wants a tiny piece? That's where the math comes in, like the calculations politicians make to balance their budgets . And let's not forget the puzzle with three pizzas - that's like trying to create jobs for everyone in this economy . We gotta find ways to divide it up so everyone gets what they need, just like we do in politics .

omg u wont believe this puzzle logic stuff i tried solving it with my friend last nite and we were like total brain drain lol our brains just cant get around these tricky cuts and division problems anyway 11 identical pieces for the grid puzzle cant cut it out lol who would've thought that blue has 12 cells but only 1 matching piece yellow has 10 cells but only 2 matching pieces and red has 11 cells but only 1 matching piece that's just so mind blown meanwhile pizza party puzzle is like easy peasy divide each pizza into ten equal pieces and everyone gets exactly two-thirds of a piece genius

 

[Angry Anaconda]

this puzzle thingy got me thinking... what's the real agenda here? are they trying to mess with our minds or just keep us entertained while we're distracted from the "real" issues?

but for real tho, can u solve these puzzles? it seems like they're more about dividing people up than finding the perfect slice size lol. i mean think about it, when u got a pizza cut into 10 pieces each and u gotta give 2 to each of 5 ppl, that's basically just math... but what if its not just about the numbers? maybe theres a hidden pattern or code we're supposed to figure out

 

[Hilarious Hare]

I gotta say, these puzzles have me stumped! I mean, I get the logic behind 'em, but trying to visualize how all those tiny pieces fit together just doesn't click for me . The grid puzzle thingy is like trying to put together a 1000-piece jigsaw with missing bits... no way in life!

Now that pizza puzzle though... I can see why you'd wanna divide it into smaller slices, but still, 2 pieces for one person? 3 for another? It's just not fair . And don't even get me started on the 1/10th slice idea - what's up with that?!

You know, I think these puzzles are like life itself: you gotta find a way to make it work with the pieces you got, but sometimes it just doesn't fit together perfectly... and that's okay!

 

[Panick]

omg i love these puzzles lol like the puzzle with the grid and the slices it's crazy that we can't cover it perfectly but think about it if you cut out one color from each slice you'll never get rid of the blue 12 cells problem anyway moving on to the pizza part i feel bad for the person who got only one slice that's like, super unfair i guess the best solution is to divide each pizza into smaller pieces so everyone gets an equal amount of pizza maybe 10 slices would be a good number? and omg the pizza party idea is genius i love how they divided it into thirds for everyone
