How many pieces does any pizza have?
That must be one of the most pointless questions that I have ever seen. The answer depends on how sharp a knife you have and on how much patience you have. Any piece can be cut in two, thereby increasing the total number of pieces (by one) and you can keep on at it all night - and the following day. A more interesting exercise might be to find out how many pieces you can get out of one pizza.

How do you cut a cake into 8 equal pieces in 3 cuts?
This is a trick question. Normally if you wanted to cut a cake into 8 equal pieces you would do so with more than 3 cuts. However, it is possible to do it in 3 cuts if you have a sufficiently long knife. By cutting the cake with two perpendicular cuts you can easily get 4 equal pieces. Then you rearrange these 4 pieces so that they are in a line, with all the pointy ends aligned in the same direction. Then you can cut all four pieces in half with one more cut. But it takes a long knife.Answer:Alternately two perpendicular cuts to make 4 equal pieces and a horizontal cut at the middle of the cake to make it into two equal layers each with 4 equal pieces.But if the cake has frosting on top, then the top pieces can't really be exactly equal to the bottom pieces which won't have frosting on top. Nonetheless, it's a good alternative. And not all cakes are frosted.
How should you eat a donut at an etiquette dinner?
If doughnuts are being served it's very informal - so treat it that way gracefully. If you are standing, pick the doughnut up with a napkin encasing it about a third to halfway to keep your hands clean and to deter dropping glaze everywhere and enjoy in modest size bites. Once you get to where the doughnut is being held in the napkin, stop and put it on the used item tray. This will keep you from spilling the glaze that has collected in the napkin. If you have seating, place the doughnut on a snack plate with the tongs provided. At your seat you make either use a knife and fork to cut small bites or tear small pieces from the doughnut and put it in your mouth. Use only your thumb and your index finger to minimize sticky hands.
