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

Maybe the teacher is presenting an alternate view of math and 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

And the Iraq war, and about anything else 'our' government has done for us in the last 50 years or so. Originally Posted by Iceaxe
