You have two straight lengths of wood.
How can your cut one of them so that one of the three pieces is average length of the other two?

If the lengths of the pieces are both x
One is cut at length of p
The other length = x - p
p = the average of x and x-p
p = (x+x-p)/2
2p = 2x-p
3p = 2x
p/x = 2/3
One length is cut in the ratio = 2 : 3
