The Perfect Way To Slice a Pizza
iamapizza writes "New Scientist reports on the quest of two math boffins for the perfect way to slice a pizza. It's an interesting and in-depth article; 'The problem that bothered them was this. Suppose the harried waiter cuts the pizza off-center, but with all the edge-to-edge cuts crossing at a single point, and with the same angle between adjacent cuts. The off-center cuts mean the slices will not all be the same size, so if two people take turns to take neighboring slices, will they get equal shares by the time they have gone right round the pizza — and if not, who will get more?' This is useful, of course, if you're familiar with the concept of 'sharing' a pizza."
Well, that movie is the best proof that carbon dioxide causes heat. Get that, global warming deniers! :-)
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
You're an ignorant jerk. Many, many women are in the range of 5'7-5'10 and are athletic in nature, does that mean they shouldn't eat a 3000 calorie a day diet if their bodies need it? They would consume more than the average male 6ft tall with a sedentary lifestyle. There is no "general" statement when it comes to the dietary requirements of a female, and bottling it as "anti male victimhood" just shows your intelligence level.
Sure baby, I'll give you my phone number...in Hex
