You were having a party and had made 11 congruent pancakes for 11 people before an unexpected guest showed up, and there was no flour left to make another pancake.
As a result, for an even distribution to the 12 people, you decided to cut the pancakes under the condition that each cut would be along a pancake's diameter only. For instance, to divide a pancake into 12 equal slices, 6 cuts would be made, as shown above right.
What would be the least number of cuts you need to make to achieve equal shares for everyone?
