Answer is 20.

It takes 10 minutes per cut (one cut creates two pieces). It takes two cuts to create three pieces.

2 x 10 = 20

I hate dumbass teachers....

Maybe the teacher is presenting an alternate view of math and science?

Yeah something like the creationist version of math/science? :)

The teacher is right if this is an infinite length board from which one needs to saw two pieces. That would be the physicists version of this test. Kind of like the "zero friction" assumption. The rest of you are far too practical :lol8:

In that case, the answer would be 30 minutes for 3 pieces. Like ice said, 10 min per cut. To cut 3 pieces off would take 30 min.

This is the same math used to fund Obama care.

And the Iraq war, and about anything else 'our' government has done for us in the last 50 years or so. :lol8: I wasn't that much of an 'Ike' fan when I was a kid, but he was dead on in his warning about the military industrial complex.

regardless of the length of the board, once two cuts happened it would be into 3 pieces...
