Shick! Who's going to use an infinite series as an approximation? Seriously.BTW, you can never do math with pizza, because it's been my experience that at most places their large (or XL) pizzas are thinner than their medium (or large).
nerded.
Stop. I'm having flashbacks to high school. I can almost feel my attempts to get laid this weekend getting rebuffed with extreme prejudice.
"Pi" was Greek last time I checked.Besides, your Gregory and Leibniz don't sound very American.
Not Apple Pi
Or liberals.
definetly not nerdy to want to get the most value out of your dollar, but I probably would have just asked the person what's bigger, 2 mediums or an extra large. either they'll do the math for you or stumble through coming up with a BS guesstimation which could end up being goldSo I am calling Domino's to take home a pizza and some cheesy sticks (wife is going out with some girl friends so it is me, my son, and my 2 daughters that have strep throat tonight). They tell me their specials, of which one is 2 medium 1-toppings and a bread for $14.99. They also have their XLP 1-topping for $9.99, with cheese sticks being $3.99.
So thein me immediately asks for the diameter of each pizza, I do a little pi X radius squared and figure out the most pizza per buck spent.
And no, there are not ANY good mom and pop pizza joints within 10 miles of where I live, so spare the "Good pizza down" comments.
weight can vary greatly depending on topping.

For the love of all things sacred... Go get a spider monkey. Type 3.14 on a blackboard. Then feed him four double espressos, hand him a numeric keypad, and let him start going ape#### on it and write the numbers on the board. It's as close an approximation as any other.
Looks like ! was ignoring MOP's PMs way back in April
I'm setting my fantasy lineup based on this guy's math
If you follow the advice of MOP you're a Nazi. If we're going to talk history someone has to invoke Nazis. It just has to happen. I wanted to be first.
Whatever, BoardNazi...gimme the friggin' answer!
Almost correct. It's not the number of toppings so much as the mass of the toppings. (It also depends on which toppings, but that is advanced-level pizza theory best saved for another thread.)
We could start calcuating volume, but that's going to require another dimension.

-iness to a whole different level.I had a spreadsheet going with cost of pizza per square inch for pizzas of various sizes given 1, 2, 3, and 4 toppings -- since toppings are priced differently for small, medium, and large pizzas.
We're interested in the area of a pizza that is, for our purposes, two-dimensional and circular.The area of a circular pizza is proportional to the square of its radius. Pizza sizes are stated in terms of their diameters.So a 12-inch pizza is 56% as big as a 16-inch pizza. (6^2) / (8^2) = 56.25%Therefore, if the 12-incher costs more than 56% as much as the 16-incher, the 16-incher is the better deal.
Once again for those in the back of the room...HISTORY DEGREE. I wrote and I read. The last time I worked with numbers in parentheses, there was a letterman's jacket involved. And I never even did my homework. I flunked Algebra II...as a senior. The only reason I graduated from college without taking a math class was because of a glitch somewhere along the line...I literally should not have my college degree right now.So in the original question, which is the better deal?Thanks. I didn't mean to get testy, but sometimes I drink.
I use 64-bit floating point calculations, which comes out to
i = 3.14159265358979

For example, even though the base-cost of the pizza is less for a large than for a small (in terms of dollars per square inch), each additional topping was actually more expensive (per square inch) for a large. There are in fact many complications (standard toppings versus premium toppings, etc). You really need a thorough spreadsheet to take them all into account.

The Pie is solid, no doubt - it's a very fun place to hang out and have a pie and a pitcher and watch a game, and Lord knows the "Mountain of Meat" satisfied many a late-night hunger- but it wouldn't even crack the top 50 of "mom-and-pop" pizza joints I've been to. Stop at any pizzeria in New Jersey and there's a 90% their pie will be better than The Pie's.

This is America, bub.
Yeah, and NYers have the gall to call theirs "pies."
Call it whatever you want, NY style = pizza.Chicago style - an Italian meal on a crust rather than a plate.
