How can you cut a pizza into 29 pieces with 7 straight cuts?
Cut a pizza into 2 using one straight cut. Stack the pieces and make a straight cut: you now have 22 = 4 pieces from 2 cuts. Stack these and make a straight cut: you now have 23 = 8 pieces from 3 cuts. Continue. After 7 cuts you can have 27 = 128 pieces. You can reduce the number of pieces to 29 if, after the fourth cut, you stack and cut only 11 pieces and thereafter cut just one each time. There are other options which give the same result.

The maximum of pieces into which a pizza can be cut by making six cuts?
If you want an even-sized pieces, you can make a 7-slice pizza. Otherwise, the maximum is 22. (.5x^2 + .5x + 1 is the formula to determine the maximum number of slices if you use "x" cuts.)

The maximum number of pieces into which a pizza can be cut by making 6 cuts?
2n or 2 x n because if you cut it one time it will be two slices (1 x 2) it you cut it two times it will be four slices (2 x 2) ''---------------- I am afraid that's not correct. Based on the above for 3 cuts, n=3 and number of slices would be 3x2=6, which is not the correct answer. If the the third cut intersects both the previous cuts at dfifferent points, you would get 7 slices. And if you make a fourth cut in such a way that it intersects previous cuts at different points, you would get 11 slices. (Now slices may be crumb sized, that is a different matter, but mathematically that is the max slices you could make!!) In general, maximum number of slices with n cuts would be (n^2 + n + 2)/2
How can you make a pizza with 8 slices when you only draw 3 lines?
Each cut("line") increases the number of slices by a multiple of 2 (provided that each cut crosses the center of the pizza). So, 1 cut would make 2 pieces, 2 cuts would make 4 pieces and 3 cuts would make 8 pieces

What is the largest number of pieces you could cut a pie into with 6 straight cuts?
As no constraints on the shape or regularity of the resulting pieces are made, making a three by tree line grid on the pie surface would result in 16 separate pieces. Cutting the pie into regular wedges with 6 straight cuts passing through the center would result in 12 pieces.
