Don't cut the seed! You need the whole thing. Plant it whole with the flatish end down. When I start the Hass avocado from seed I get my best results by burying the seed in soil leaving about a quarter of the 'pointy' end exposed. Keep soil moist but not wet. Likes full sun.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
