Divide a Square into 4 Equal Parts
The Challenge is to divide a square into 4 equal parts with three cuts.
All you need do is present you final image (JPG, PNG, WEB, XAR).
Here you are for 2 and 4 cuts:

Note: in Xara you don't need to use any cuts whatsoever.
Can you describe how?

I just did. If you are talking about doing this without three cuts then I have done it. I did it without cuts.

One cut, 4 squares.
Or, you can Add Shapes with the two lines, then Combine Shapes > Slice Shapes (Ctrl 4) but you still have to Arrange > Break Shapes.

Gary, I apologise for the confusion. My bad.
The Challenge was based around physical cuts. So I was expecting a pattern with three physical cuts.
My original 4-cut is barkingly wrong as it only took three!!
Your zero-cut Xara approach is as you described, apart from the resultant squares are the same size as the original so you need a cloning and halving step at the beginning.
Your one-cut Xara approach with a cookie cutter of two crossed lines is also good.
I plead stupidity, but other than the three-cut I incorrectly included, is there another 3-cut using scissors still out there?
In fact, could the three-cut for the long rectangles even be done as a 2-cut scissor action?
Most humbled,
Acorn

I've exhausted my repertoire of moves.

Technically, with scissors, you could cut across then fold the two pieces together and make a second cut.
