Good link, and a very good attempt at trying to prove that something is objective. But it all relys on measurement, which can never be 100% acurrate
Plus, if you start with a cube that is 3 inches, and make a cut, you lose the width of the blade in the cut, and will wind up with pieces less than one inch. Another poorly written attempt.
The accuracy of the cut has no bearing on the question posed which is
stated thus
A carpenter, working with a buzz saw, wishes to cut a wooden cube, three inches on a side, into 27 one-inch cubes. He can do this job easily by making six cuts through the cube, keeping the pieces together in the cube shape. Can he reduce the number of necessary cuts by rearranging the pieces after each cut?
The
number of sides of a cube are not dependent on the accuracy of the cut itself. Since the cube must have 6 sides then the number of cuts cannot be reduced and this is an objective result independent of a persons desire otherwise.
