Benjamin Franklin. The first editorial cartoon appeared in Ben Franklin's newspaper The Pennsylvania Gazette on May 9, 1754. It appeared as part of an editorial by Franklin commenting on 'the present disunited state of the British Colonies.' The woodcut drawing entitled 'Join or Die' pictures a divided snake in eight pieces representing as many colonial governments. The drawing was based on the popular superstition that a snake that had been cut in two would come to life if the pieces were joined before sunset. The drawing immediately caught the public's fancy and was reproduced in other newspapers.
No. If you cut a snake's head off it will die.
it was meant to stand for the colonies it was telling them put your differences aside and work tougher or we will all fail
You can cut the string into 15 total pieces.
If a cube of jello is cut into two pieces the density of the pieces do not change.
To cut a cube into 504 identical pieces, you would need to make 503 cuts. Each cut divides the cube into two pieces, so the first cut creates 2 pieces, the second cut creates 4 pieces, the third cut creates 8 pieces, and so on. Therefore, to reach 504 pieces, you would need to make 503 cuts.
If the vendor cut the pineapples into eights, and after selling 27 pieces he had 13 pieces left, then he sold 27 + 13 = 40 pieces in total. Since each pineapple was cut into 8 pieces, the number of pineapples cut would be 40 pieces / 8 pieces per pineapple = 5 pineapples. Therefore, the vendor cut 5 pineapples.
A snake can die at any time of day or night.
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.
It is not possible to cut a pie into seven pieces of equal area. Eight pieces and six pieces can both readily be done.

Because 4 pieces of something that was cut up in 9 pieces is more than 4 pieces of something that was cut up in 10 pieces. If you cut it up in 9 pieces instead of 10, then the pieces are bigger.
