Grandma has baked a different shaped rectangular pan of brownies and plans to distribute them between her two grandkids equally by cutting them into rectangular pieces of equal size and shape, with only straight cuts parallel to the sides of the pan. Each cut must be made entirely across the pan. She wants the number of brownies around the entire perimeter to be twice the number of brownies in the interior.
