"Torus cutted up with plane"
 
   Dear Sirs,

I have heard something about a puzzle in a M. Gardner's book.
It'should exist a solid that when it's cutted ub by a plane returns (on the plane itself)an intersection of two circles. I heard the solid was the torus. But I can't figure out how we could cut it. Any idea?
Sorry for my bad English.
Regards,
Tony
