标题: 第一次聚餐：切蛋糕

难度：+++

脑坛第一次聚餐时有一个正方形蛋糕。（主菜单由莲花MM负责，现在保密。）这个蛋糕要切成N个面积相同的长方形。但每个人都要求自己的长方形和别人的不相似。N等于几时才可能？

4k+1, k =0,1,2,...

How do you do, say, 5?

Sorry for late response. Just too busy lately...

It seems 5 doesn't work, as it turns out 4 of them are actually similar. But 7 works. The idea is to try to form a spiral of rectangles from corner to center.

Let's start with a sqrt(7) square. The first rectangle starts from any corner. It has sides a=(8sqrt(7)-sqrt(133))/21 = 0.458736 and b=21/(8sqrt(7)-sqrt(133))=2.1799. The next rectangle sits at the adjacent corner. It has sides c=sqrt(7)-b and d=1/c. We can continue in this fashion.

The first rectangle could have been a=8sqrt(7)+sqrt(133))/21 = 1.55707 and b=21/(8sqrt(7)+sqrt(133))=0.64223. The spiral can be formed similarly.

7 or more is correct
