Pizza Math Calculators

Last week my friend Shelly had a children’s themed karate and pizza birthday party, and it was amazing- EXCEPT they cut the pizza slices in half like when you were a kid.

Even as a kid I did not fall for this. I was like, “Yeah, I want the regular human being-sized slice, not this cocktail party appetizer version. Why don’t you get your cheap ass back in the station wagon, Mrs. Hargrove, and pick up a decent amount of pizza?”

Pizza Math = Hard

Sharing pizza with friends can be difficult, mostly because pizza math can be complicated.

Often you’ve got 3 people competing for 8 slices. Now the proper etiquette is that everyone gets two slices and once those slices are consumed, stand by for further instructions.

Most likely, one of the three people will volunteer to forgo their slice because that person is putting up a sort of “I’m not a pig” image campaign.

But if no one gives on their slice, the only way to proceed is to cut the remaining two slices into thirds, giving each person 2/3 of the two slices.

Also, be aware of the person cutting the thirds. He may have ulterior motives.

Like, he wants more pizza!


P.S. Pizza good.
