Cake is never cut in such a way.
Wat we can do is.
1st cut should be cutting the Cake into two Halfs
Now put one half on top of other. Then again cutting it like
we made the 1st cut.
so now 4 parts. Two on top two on below.
Now Cut the cake in the orthogonal direction than the
earlier two cuts.
The trick was only That u can put one half on top of other.
Tats it.
