You have a cake that is 10 inches in diameter. You expect 12 people to share it, so you cut it into 12 equal slices. Before you get a chance to serve the cake, 12 more people arrive! So, you decide to cut a concentric circle in the cake so that you will have 24 pieces. How far from the center of the cake should the circle cut be made so that all 24 people get the same amount of cake?
