The Brownie Puzzle video led to a curious general question. Rectangles, parallelograms, regular 2N-gons all possess a special point through which any straight line is sure to chop the figure into two parts of equal area. What can you say about the general class of polygons that have such points? What general characteristic do they share? We answer that question here.
