 * A Horseshoe Puzzle
 * Here is an easy little puzzle, but we have seen people perplexed by it for some time.


 * Given a paper horseshoe, similar to the one in the illustration,
 * can you cut it into seven pieces, with two straight clips of the scissors,
 * so that each part shall contain a nail hole?

 * There is no objection to your shifting the pieces and putting them together after the first cut,
 * only you must not bend or fold the paper in any way.
