    Strategic Cuts With a Cylindrical Knife
    (Springer, 2023-02) Bhattacharjee, Rishav; Sarkar, Jyotirmoy; Mathematical Sciences, School of Science
    Suppose your father gives you a hollow cylindrical knife as a birthday gift, and your mother buys you a bag of potatoes. When the knife is pressed into a potato and the outer excess is removed, the interior of the knife yields a cylindrical core. By pressing the knife into a potato from several strategically chosen directions, you can construct some solids of intersection such that all faces are identical or one of two distinct shapes.
