These comments refer to the latest part (the one after the lemon).

Somewhere it says "you can't divide a rectangle into three equal parts" 
but you can, like this:

+--------+
|1 |2 |3 |   
+--------+

1, 2, and 3 are the different areas.

Thank you! (Jack bonks himself on the head.) I knew I shouldn't have 
done that since I haven't taken geometry for... oh, let me see... 3 years 
now. Uh, well I was more or less thinking of how you would devide the 
rectangle in half and still have some sort of a hall to reach each 
person's door. What you did is correct but I guess I just wasn't thinking 
at the time.

Anyway, your drawing would mean that someone would have to go through two 
rooms to reach theirs, which ultimately defeats the purpose of dividing 
the room inthe first place because they wanted their privacy.

Anyway, if you can draw out a way that you can devide a rectange into 
three equal parts but have some sorta of corridor to each, please tell me!
