Reply to comment by Tambury in [OC] Pizza eating challenge by a non-professional eater in a local competition by Tambury

I cannot follow your math here. From your explanation it seems the whole pizza is only 200mm wide. Each "slice" is 250mm long - so to eat "one meter" one would have to eat either 5 slices (to measure by width) or 4 slices (to measure by length).

Apologies for the confusion, each 'single serve' of pizza is 250mm long cut 3-by-2 = 6 slices. The metre pizza is effectively 4 of these end-on-end (cooked as 2x500mm lengths due to oven limitations).

Hopefully below picture gives context. https://i.redd.it/v5bgqgkzzqv91.jpg

Now I understand it, but pizza is almost always defined by area not length. Had you multiplied by the width it would be much clearer how much pizza was consumed.

The whole pizza is about 0.00004943 acres. His friend consumed 0.00002965 acres of pizza.

The 250mm increments are actually 6 slices, so each rectangular slice must only be about 4cm wide, 20cm long
