The problem is as follows (and I imagine that ma ny of you have seen this before).\n\n
\ nA (3x3x3) cube of cheese can be dissected into un it cubes with 6 cuts--by making 2 planar cuts alon g each dimension. Can you do it in _fewer_ cuts if you are allowed to rearrange and stack the remain ing components before making the next cut?\n\n\nI'll talk about the ways in which we ca n generalize this problem and present some results \, suprises and open problems.\n\nhttp://www.infer ence.phy.cam.ac.uk/cs482/\n LOCATION:TCM Seminar Room\, Cavendish Laboratory\, Departme nt of Physics CONTACT:Carl Scheffler END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
