Now use the third cut to cut through the center of the cake horizontally, making 8 pieces, stacked two and two. Don't see any other way of doing it... Ah, found page 2 ^^

You end up having two equal piles of halved pills, basically two half doses of your original 4 pills. Eat 1 pile the first night and 1 the second night =) Colorblind Pills: Take each pill, cut it in half and place the halves in seperate piles.

It reminds me of the person who has to split 7 equal pieces of metal into 12 identical subsets, with the least amount of cutting. Yes, your solution is more practical.

Mine is essentially the same, but a little more usable in practice - you cut all four pills in half and eat one half of each pill on the first day, and the second half on the second day.
