Question 1091346: Geometry Jill baked a rectangular cake for her brothers, John and Jerry. She planned to cut the cake in half and send an equal amount home with each brother. However, when she took the cake from the fridge, she saw that her son, Geometry Joe, had cut out a rectangular chunk and eaten it. How can she make a single straight cut through the cake that will guarantee each brother an equal amount? Jill has some string on hand, but no measuring tools. Also, she may not cut the cake through the middle, parallel to the cake's top surface. Each brother should receive an equal amount of the frosted top.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! But wait, the son took a rectangular piece out of where? I say out of the middle, and then I just cut the cake in half.
If you have information to this effect, please provide it.
