Abstract:
Have you ever been stranded in a post-apocalyptic wasteland in which your only chance of survival was to cut pre-drawn shapes out of a piece of paper with only a Swingline® Guillotine Paper Trimmer? I am sure you have been and will be again, but have no fear! I will show you how to save at least a 4/729 fraction of those objects, provided they are axis parallel squares.
