Crazy-Cuts: From Theory to App

Crazy-Cut puzzles are fascinating and often quite challenging: Given a planar shape, find a cutting curve that divides the shape into two parts, identical up to Euclidean transformations. The solution is not trivial to find. Eriksson was the First to propose an algorithm for solving polygonal Crazy-Cut challenges. Here, Elor et al improve on their previous analysis, thereby enabling a simpler Crazy-Cut algorithm. Furthermore, they propose a formal method to design Crazy-Cut riddles based on the improved analysis.
