So, the 6 inch Pizza has an area if

62*pi=113 sq. inch * (65/360)=20.4 sq. Inch

the pizza with 7 inch has

72*pi=154 sq. Inch * (45/360)=19.2 sq. inch.

Get the 6 inch, it has abut 1.2 Square inches more pizza for 20 cent less :)

It's so weirdly cut though, another slice on that pizza might be huge though.

2/11 chance you get the 32.5-degree slice on the 6-inch pizza. Keep your eyes peeled and don't be afraid to ask for a measuring tape.

Last time I did that it lead to a protracted argument. We were divided

Might have to approach it from a different angle then

Is that aligned with your moral compass?

It was the root of the sin, boobs.

Did you turn the calculator upside down for that result?

That's not all I'm whipping out.

Imagine a non Euclidean pizza on a hyperbolic surface.

I literally can't.

Well then imagine someone who could Imagine a non Euclidean pizza on a hyperbolic surface.

Imagine a world where a man can imagine a non-euclidean pizza on a hyperbolic surface, hurtling through time and space on a crash course with the hungry maw of entropy. This is… the twilight zone.

In other words, how it came the one time when I UberEats'd one.

Damn things looked like the driver came on horseback and put the whole box under the saddle like cowboys used to do to soften their jerky.

Just dip them both in water and see which displaces more. Buy the bigger wet piece. If you get lucky, they may give you both.

And 9/11 chance you don't

Yes, it would be much more logical if it was 60 degrees.

Now the first pizza is: 1.50 / ( 62 * pi * 65 / 360) = 0.0735 dollar/inch2

Otherwise the first pizza is: 1.50 / ( 62 * pi * 60 / 360) = 0.0796 dollar/inch2

And the second pizza is: 1.70 / ( 72 * pi * 45 / 360) = 0.0883 dollar/inch2

It is much closer if the first pizza would be 60 degrees (1/6)

45 degree angle: okay that is just 1/8th of pizza circle

65 degree angle: okay who cut a pizza into 13/72 ths? I just want to talk...

u/Intergalactyc 1d ago

Actually the angles listed are wrong - measuring the image, they're really 45 and 36 degrees, which sensibly divide the pizza into 8 and 10 slices respectively!!!
