Once again the baguette problem came up and it is not clear at all on two points what is a baguette and what shape is it. Once again the solution given would be incorrect if a baguette was round 5 cuts would not make 6 even slices. 5 cuts would make 10 even slices. I do agree that it is possible to make 6 slices with 5 cuts but that should not be the only answer. The more efficient method would be to use the least amount of cuts in this case it would be 3. questions like these that have more than one answer should be removed to avoid confusion.
