Tonight at dinner I mentioned how I was trying to decide whether to buy and bring home two small pizza's or one large one. I ended up making my decision based on the weight listed on the box... the large pizza was 3lbs for twice the price of the small 1lb pizza.
The small vs large pizza had been a conundrum for us before, and I could not remember what was decided, so having the weight listed on the box was a relief for me.
Of course the talk then turned to how you can figure out which is the better deal by size.... Next thing I know David is proposing the question of which is a bigger area (more pizza)... thirty 1 inch diameter beer caps, or one 10 inch diameter dinner plate. Myranda is studiously calculating at her seat using a left over shred of carrot in a puddle of dressing. And I am thinking I wish I had some pie.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

The dinner plate was more than 3 times as much as 30 bottle caps.

What an intelligent, mathematical family and the answer is always Pi.
