Okay. This is my better guess.

One line can intersect three other lines at the most three points.

So you have:

3 pts for 4 lines + 2 pts for 3 lines + 1 pt for 2 lines

Use the sum of series to get total points:

n(n+1)/2
3 pts(3 pts+1)/2
3(4)/2
6 max intersecting pts

Which yields 11 slices.



Fingers crossed. flowers

That's right Tulip. You have the right answer and the right approach.
Excellent job !!

I could do up to 11 pieces...I wonder how could you make 16 pieces with 4 straight cuts. I think this is impossible.

Not sure. I can make 14 3D. A horizontal slice and vertically, 3 slices with three intersecting pts. Have to be a pizza pie though.
