Optimal way to cut boards to given length

Introduction

Problem: Need to cut 6×110 cm similar pieces from 4×200 cm wood. The parts can be glued together, but the gluing should be somehow symmetrical. Also the kerf (the width of the blade) should be considered.

Problem 2: We are given a stick of length L. We make cuts such that the longest piece is of length n at most. What are the minimum number of pieces we will get and in how many ways this can be done? https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2268572/number-of-ways-of-cutting-a-stick-such-that-the-longest-portion-is-of-length-n
