The Picnic Wasp

Quote from: Matt2112 on April 02, 2026, 01:49:49 AMOne 18" pizza has more pizza than two 12" pizzas (by about 12.5%).

Mind boggling! I've never been able to take that in.

Being as pizzas are round, it's a square thing :)

Oh I see now. I was applying James' kindergarten Planck measurement technique rather then sticking to the questionable Pi thing.

Complicated things pizzas. Round food in square boxes cut into (nearly) triangles. Segmented? More worryingly, people who buy two 12" pizzas have until now been wrongly considered greedy.

It is not a Pi, it is a pizza. I know, they are both round, easily overseen this.

I think the magnitude of my apparent stupidity is directly proportional to James' post being on the previous page and perhaps missed. Or worryingly, perhaps not.

I think Nop was joking :)

Overthinking is an art Picnic. Take pride in that.

I know. I was just concerned he and Nick had missed your cranium exploding Planck stuff and that I had also missed the area of a circle day at school. Complete conceit on my part. I knew they were pulling my leg but my obsessional nature couldn't let it lie.

I've always been unlucky with the printed page though. Whenever I won a small award for anything, the high jump at school sports, scoring a goal, a good exam result, my name always seemed to broken into first and last names on different lines of print, or even pages. It even happened in a Rush book.

The Planck stuff is still bursting my knitting though. I need to let it go.😁
