How can you cut a pizza into 29 pieces with 7 straight cuts?
Cut a pizza into 2 using one straight cut. Stack the pieces and make a straight cut: you now have 22 = 4 pieces from 2 cuts. Stack these and make a straight cut: you now have 23 = 8 pieces from 3 cuts. Continue. After 7 cuts you can have 27 = 128 pieces. You can reduce the number of pieces to 29 if, after the fourth cut, you stack and cut only 11 pieces and thereafter cut just one each time. There are other options which give the same result.

Why is the distance between parallels is constant but the distance between meridians decrease as the meridians approach the poles?
Because the meridians are not parallel. They're the slices you make when you want to cut an orange into sections, where each slice goes through the same point on top and the same point on the bottom, and the pieces taper, from wide at the skin to nothing at the middle. The parallels are literally parallel. They're the slices you make when you want to cut the orange into "rounds", where the slices are all parallel, and the pieces are all circular disks of different sizes.
