Puzzle overview for Professor Layton and the Curious Village Puzzle 069 - Chocolate Puzzle

You have a hankering for chocolate, so you buy a huge sheet of 30 chocolate squares.

The sheet is five squares long by six squares wide. You can only break the chocolate at the lines that run between squares, and you aren’t allowed to stack multiple segments on top of each other.

Keeping those rules in mind, what is the fewest number of times you’ll need to break the chocolate in order to separate each of the 30 chocolate squares?

There is no special trick that the puzzle is trying to pull on you. It’s as simple as it sounds.

That said, the answer isn’t 30.
