Text: "An odd little axiom about the 'axiom of choice'". A remarkable consequence of the axiom of choice. One can cut a ball into a finite number of pieces and rearrange the pieces to get two balls, each the same size as the original ball. See: Jech, Thomas J. The Axiom of Choice. New York: American Elsevier Publishing Company, Inc., 1973, p. 1-6 for the proof. Specula. 3(3), July-Sept. 1980. p. 18.
