Mathematical Impressions: The Surprising Menger Sponge Slice [Video]

What happens when this well-studied cube-like fractal is sliced on a diagonal plane? Try to predict the solution the puzzle before minute 3:25 in this video


From Simons Science News (find original story here).

The Menger Sponge, a well-studied fractal, was first described in the 1920s.?The fractal is cube-like, yet its cross section is quite surprising.?What happens when it is sliced on a diagonal plane??Try to predict the solution to the puzzle proposed in this video.
