(In reply to full solution by SilverKnight)

when you make 3 cuts you will get 8 pieces and not 7......

the solution given is wrong.......

make the first cut vertically....then second cut vertically but perpendicularly to the first cut....then make the third cut horizontally perpendicular to the first two cuts.......you will get 8 pieces..........
