The points Sum_{i=1..n} lambda_i v_i, where 1 >= lambda_1 >= ... >= lambda_n >= 0, form a ``Hill-simplex of the first type'', denoted by Q_n(w). It was shown by Hadwiger in 1951 that Q_n(w) is equidissectable with a cube. In 1985, Sch\\\"{o}bi gave a three-piece dissection of Q_3(w) into a triangular prism c Q_2(1/2) X I, where I denotes an interval and c = sqrt{2(w+1)/3}. The present paper generalizes Sch\\\"{o}bi's dissection to an n-piece dissection of Q_n(w) into a prism c Q_{n-1}(1/(n-1)) X I,"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"0710.3857","kind":"arxiv","version":2},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
