Grünbaum's orthogonal line equipartition conjecture

About 2 years old · traced to

Let PP be a convex body in the plane with area 11.

Grünbaum's conjecture. For every t∈[0,1/4]t\in[0,1/4], there exists a pair of orthogonal lines that partitions PP into four pieces whose areas, in clockwise order, are t,t,(1/2−t),(1/2−t)t,t,(1/2-t),(1/2-t).

The conjecture is open in general, although the supplied context says it has been verified in certain special cases.
