1. I suppose the previous answer is wrong…as it can be of any
   orientation and size…
   Answer is to cut at the line joining the center of cake and
   the center of rectangular piece removed

   of the rectangular piece(which may be at of any
   orientation) and join those center with an imaginary line
   and cut along that line with ur knife….
