Cocoa-rrect!
- US Version
Eight more pieces is exactly right.
As shown in the image above, if you break up the left side in a way that includes the entire hole in one piece, you can exclude that one and still make eight more pieces.
- UK Version
Eight pieces.
You should break up the left side of the chocolate bar horizontally, as shown in the image.
If you make sure the entire hole fits within one piece of chocolate and exclude that piece from the count, you're left with eight pieces.
