A cube is cut into eight pieces of equal size and shape. Every cut is straight and continues through to the opposite end. What is the minimum number of cuts?
Three perpendicular midplanes split the cube into 2×2×2=8 congruent smaller cubes. Two planar cuts can create at most four regions, so fewer than three cannot suffice. **A**.
