Talk:Cut a rectangle

Zig zags

Do we just want straight cuts here, or are zig zags allowed?

The above example is a rectangle cut with a zig zag path. Note that the resultant shapes are not exactly identical, but are mirrored to each other (when rotated). Markhobley 18:21, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

I'd say this is not allowed because of the phrase "along the square edges". --Mwn3d 18:44, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Right. The zig zag cuts are along the square edges. Maybe we should state a single "straight cut", or something like that. Markhobley 19:11, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
