There's no way to get seven equal portions. You can cut one apple twice into 4 pieces, one apple once into 2 pieces, one apple 0 times into 1 piece.

What if you can cut all three with one cut, assuming the apples are in a line?

arguably that's three cuts. but this kind of problem only works because the terms are poorly specified.

actually my cut-into-fourths is arguably wrong for the same reason

I guess that delineates it between being a mathematics problem and a physics problem
