Cut the pie along n-1 concentric circles centered at the pies center. The radii of the circles should be r*sqrt(i/n) where r is the pie's radius and i ranges from 1 to n-1. Of course this solution means only one person gets the crust. And now for a new problem for you geometry buffs. Given two parallel lines and a point not on either, construct a line through the point parallel to the given lines, using only a straight edge and a pencil. Bob Morris found this question on a test and claims to have solved it. Good Luck. Robert Snyder, III (harpo!floyd!rjs)
