<p>I would like to know if there are any method to divide a circle (a pizza) in three equal area parts (supposing you are able to divide it in two perfectly)</p>
<p>The practical aproach is to cut it aproximated in 3,</p>
<p>and to minimize error by sub-dividing every part in two, in as many portion as possible.</p>
<p>so when I get 16 bad cutted (instead of 15) the error is small</p>
<p>but diners complain about size ;)</p>
