Pizza theorem
Pizza theorem
This is what happens when you ask a mathematician to find a way to fairly divide a pizza. As of a few years ago, we now also know this works for 4D pizzas as well!
You're viewing a single thread.
We all know which slice here is superior. I'm not about quantity, I'm here for quality.
The amount of topping and crust is the same for the sum of all even pieces (#2, #4, #6 and #8) as well as the odd pieces (#1, #3, #5 and #7). Thus, both persons who share their pizza get the (exact) equal amount.
Oh I fully understand the supporting math and also specifically mentioned that it's not quantity that I care about. Not to mention that the math assumes each person would eat all of their slices.
But tell me there isn't a single slice in that thumbnail that you wouldn't immediately go for over literally every other slice available.
I would take that one big slice and call it a day.
Sure, of course. Yet, I'd go for the two smaller pieces, as they're easier to hold in hand.
