by : $148$

 * Cutting the Cheese
 * I have a piece of cheese in the shape of a cube.
 * How am I to cut it in two pieces with one straight cut of the knife
 * so that the two new surfaces produced by the cut shall each be a perfect hexagon?

 * Of course, if cut in the direction of the dotted line the surfaces would be squares.
 * Now produce hexagons.
