However on a more scientific note. My Pizza preferred establishment sell their offerings in 10" or 12" Diameter. The standard difference in price is £1.00 My favourite a Chicken Bhuna Pizza is £7.00 for 10" or £8.00 for 12" Now the area of a 10" Pizza is 78.5" Sq. That of a 12" Pizza is 113" Sq. Why would anyone buy a 10" at £0.09 per Square Inch as opposed to £0.07 per Square inch for a 12". Is this common practice ? getting so mathematical about the size/price of a pizza? No really mate mates you seem a bit weird and nerdy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now I use this. that looks like the bat'Leh sword for the Klingon equivalent of Bairnardo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Cut a strip along the middle of the pizza, the bonus bit, and scran it before you leave the kitchen. Then push the two halves back together and slice (using your preference implement...but not fucking scissors you nonce) as normal. Your friends/family/swinger party guests will be none the wiser as you present them with standard pizza triangular slices, and you have bagged an extra bit of pizza! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slight rounding error on both calculations but nothing the naked eye would be able to detect. If you don't like that explanation, here's another one..... He's done all the hard maths to show you how to get cheaper pizza and you've responded by suggesting he's "one for the watch". Have a word with yersel' gonnae? hire him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moniton Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I used to give my youngest dog's abuse for using scissors, lo and behold we go to Rome on holiday and the first pizza place we go to scissors are used. She has dined out on this for some years now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
