In this remarkable paper 30 pages are occupied by the proof of the following innocently looking lemma:

Let $K$ be an origin-symmetric convex body in $\mathbb R^3$. There exist three planes through the origin splitting $K$ into $8$ parts of equal volume and such that each two of these planes split the cross-section of $K$ by the third one into $4$ parts of equal area.

I cannot shake off the feeling that there must be a half-page proof of this statement though I don't have one yet. I also know that MO is swarming with good topologists. Anybody up to the challenge?
