Inspired by fierce family battles for the last remaining piece of cake, a team of three
high schoolers in southwestern Japan's Oita *Prefecture have invented a device that cuts
round cake and pizza evenly, no matter how many pieces are sliced, and their creation
won the top prize in the prefecture's invention contest in 2021.
The three students are members of the industrial technology club at Oita Prefectural
Kunisaki High School. Their clever invention to solve a daily life problem with a
flexible *2mindset won the governor's award in the competition and is gathering attention.
Twelve students in the electronics department of the school ( 1 ) to the industrial
technology club, which has continued to submit works to the invention contest for about
40 years. Five of their creations won prizes in the high school division of the 2021 edition
of the competition that was launched in 1941.
The top prize-winning device, whose name translates to "Let's kindly divide it up," was
invented by second-year students Wataru Onoda, 16, Rinto Kimura, 17, and third-year
student Mitsumi Zaizen, 18. It was inspired by bbattles for birthday cake in Onoda’s
family. He needed to defeat his rival two sisters in games of rock-paper-scissors to get
the last remaining piece because the cake was always cut into eight pieces despite his
family having seven members.
Based on Onoda's idea to equally divide a cake into seven pieces, Kimura created a
drawing and computer program to precisely make parts for the device. While Zaizen could
not be involved in the actual production due to preparations for her university entrance
she created a video for the presentation, using her experience of winning a prize
in the competition for two years in a row.

or pizza is placed on a turntable made with a laser beam machine, it can be cut evenly into

the desired number of pieces along the laser light. For example, (c)to serve ( ) people.
a cake or pizza is cut at 72 **angular degrees each. The process is also *5hygienic because
no one has to touch the food.
In an October 2021 jury review, the creation of the device was highly evaluated for
enabling users to cut food fairly even for an odd number of people. Kimito Kotani, the
executive director of Oita Prefecture Institute of Invention and Innovation, which
(e)organized the competition, praised the work, saying, "They solved an inconvenience in
our daily lives while enjoying the process."
Onoda is pleased about their invention and said, "We will not have any more cake
problems." Meanwhile, Kimura commented, “It was difficult to form the shape to put the
required functions into a limited space." Zaizen, who gained self-confidence from the
project and will start studying at a university in April, said, "Our flexible idea was highly
evaluated."
Shinji Matsuda, the club's adviser and practical teacher, added, "Receiving high
evaluations for an invention that students passionately worked on ( 3 ) increased
their confidence and career options." He said that he will continue to support them from
a technical aspect.

これはおそらく文章が「家族のいざこざから発想を得た『発明』」についてであって「家族のいざこざ」は中心テーマではないから①なんでしょうね。

しかしセンス悪いタイトルですね（笑）。ケーキ切るのは "Necessity"というレベルでもないですし..
こうすると簡単になりすぎるのかもしれませんけど "From Family Feuds to Award Winning Invention" とかにしてほしいですね。
