    Ah, a teacher that does not comprehend the barometer

    Two other right answers:

    • Luis’ pizza is at least <whatever is the correct fraction> smaller than Marty’s (which is basically the same answer as the kid’s)
    • Marty ate someone else’s pizza besides his own

    And, for funsies:

    • Luis’ pizza is 50% crust, so it doesn’t fully count as pizza
    • Luis doesn’t like pizza and actually fed the dog while nobody was looking
    • Marty is many years older than Luis, therefore he has eaten many years’ worth of pizza ahead of Luis

      This is completely unrelated but I cannot believe Calandra is a real world name.

      The designers of the video game Path of Exile should’ve called their super rare item “Kalandra’s Barometer” instead of “Kalandra’s Mirror”.

      Well the question does assign ownership to the pizza, so Marty can eat his pizza then give it to Luis making it his pizza

      correct fraction = 4/5, as in, Luis’ pizza is smaller than the 4/5 (80%) of Marty’s pizza.
