Re: Another geometry puzzle
Brucetta requested 1/4 slice of pizza. Bruce gives her 1/3 slice of pizza. Brucetta says that's too much. What fraction of pizza will Bruce have to remove from the 1/3 slice of pizza to leave her with 1/4?
Bonus questions! How long will it take for Bruce and Mrs. Bruce to argue over the best means solve this puzzle? How long will the argument last before Brucetta says, "Forget about it! I'll just eat the whole 1/3! "

Such potential!

1/12. You're joking, right?

Till late into the night, especially after lights out.
Brucetta will behave for 30 seconds (standard case) to 1 minute (on a good day).
Did I win?

Re: Another geometry puzzle
Trick question. Regardless of the amount chosen, it will either be too much removed or too little removed.
In fact, it can be mathematically proven in R2 that the odds of slicing it at exactly the correct mark is literally zero.

Sun Tzu said that, and I'd say he knows a little bit more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor. Then, he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth, and then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the crap out of every single one. And from that day forward any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a zoo! (Beat) Unless it's a farm!"

Without looking, almost always the largest size.

Re: Another geometry puzzle
I would say the zero-size pizza hut pizza (i.e. don't buy one from there) is the most cost-effective solution. Instead, buy one from a supermarket and warm it up yourself.
