Thread: chocolate bar

Hi guys,

Assume you have a chocolate bar consisting, as usual, of a number of squares arranged in a rectangular pattern.

Your task is to split the bar into small squares (always breaking along the lines between the squares) with a minimum number of breaks.

How many will it take?

Try...........

Ans: Number Of Squares - 1

answer shud be 5

yeah, suresh is correct, the minimum no. of breaks will always be equal to no. of squares - 1.
