document.write( "3 cuts are needed to cut a log into 4 parts.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Next, 11 cuts are needed to cut a log into 12 pieces.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "At the same rate of 2 minutes per cut, the required time is 2*11 = 22 minutes.   ANSWER\r\n" );
