Why don't i cut it vertically 3 times, therefore it should be 4 pieces that are 2x3. You just got to put every piece in order so the hole is full.

I solved it in another way..
1. make 2 parts of 8*3 I.e 8*2 & 8*1
2. fit the 8*2 block it'll cover 1/3rd part of the hole.
3. cut the remaining 8*1 block into 4*1 & 4*1 equal halves.
4. fit 4*1 halves one above another.

[komiakomaki]

It is so easy xD Looked at it and a few seconds later I got it in exactly two cuts xD

[zacharia]

to make it harder say you can only cut it once theres a millon diffrent way if you dont say that

[kaptinspud]

I found that cutting it into four 2x3 pieces also worked

[brandencolie]
