Does she swallow then ?

Depends who you're sharing the 16" one with and how evenly it's been cut.

[Rod]

Which surely depends on the skill of the mohel?

You're missing 44 square inches.

[Jon Fairbairn]

You're missing 11 square inches.

I am assuming the pizzas are round

Area Of A Circle is PI multiplied by (radius squared)

Area of two 11" Pizzas is PI x (5.5 x 5.5) then doubled = 190.0664 sq inches

Area of one 16" Pizza is PI x (8 x8) = 201.0619 sq inches.

Therefore she was incorrect, but if the pizzas were square:

11 x 11 x 2 = 242 sq inches

16 x 16 = 256 sq inches she was correct.

HTH

Sorry that should also say she was also INCORRECT

I refer you to The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy and the instructions for using toothpicks. It came to this over 20 years ago.

PS - microwave ovens - not for drying pets in.

[The Natural Philosopher]

That cant be correct.

In both cases you are scaling by the same factor, its either less than two or more than two, and the factor is 16^2 /11^2 or 256/121

which is ALWAYS greater than two, by a small margin, so a 16" thing is always bigger than two 11 " things.

As in fact your maths shows, but you drew the wrong conclusions from it.

[The Natural Philosopher]

ah. yes.

Could have been a pi. Pizza Hut _used_ to do a pie.

Back in the 80's that was my favorite.

Ah, so to DIY ....

OMG, I'm real hungry now :-(

[Bob Eager]

As I said, not a lot in it...!

[ARWadsworth]

Not a lot in it I agree, but the blonde one said it was not remotely possible. I think she could just about work out 11 plus 11.

There may be a contender for this.

I have just read the spec sheet on a job I have to do later in the week.

It says

"form a hole in the ceiling, pass the cable or cables through the hole and through the rear of the lightfitting before securely attatching the lightfitting to the ceiling"

The person that wrote that is someone that obviously gets paid to do f*ck all for 8 hours a day.

Adam

[Clive George]

Alternatively it's somebody who gets paid to dumb down the instructions sufficiently that nobody can f*ck it up. It's annoying if you're at all competent, but there's a lot of seriously clueless people about.

[ARWadsworth]

If the guy wanted to make it easy then why did he not include a wiring diagram for me? Is it possibly because I wire lights for a living and he cannot wire up a plug.

Why did his spec sheet not say just say "fit light in bathroom to current electrical regs"?

Adam

[geoff]

SO you've been to Pizza Hut then

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "ARWadsworth" saying something like:

But was she impressed by the nine incher you showed her?
