Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the formula for calculating the volume of a thick crust pizza, specifically focusing on the mathematical expression involving height and radius. The conversation touches on mathematical reasoning and playful humor related to mathematics and physics.

Discussion Character

  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Exploratory
  • Humorous anecdotes

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests the formula for the volume of a thick crust pizza as $$\pi(\text{radius})^2(\text{height})$$, specifically noting it as $$\pi.z.z.a$$ where $$a$$ is height and $$z$$ is radius.
  • Several posts include humorous anecdotes involving mathematicians, physicists, and engineers, illustrating different perspectives on reasoning and measurement, but do not directly contribute to the pizza volume discussion.
  • Multiple jokes and stories are shared that reflect on logical reasoning and mathematical concepts, but they do not provide further clarification on the pizza volume formula.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus on the formula for the volume of a thick crust pizza, as the main focus shifts to humor and anecdotes rather than a rigorous mathematical debate.

Contextual Notes

The initial claim regarding the volume formula is presented without further elaboration or verification from other participants, leaving the mathematical basis somewhat unexamined.

I note that in the upper-left picture, the snake must be moving up the plane.

Curiously, the box in the other universe is intact.

The admin team has decided that we will switch to a once a year awards structure instead of the previous twice a year structure.
Then why on Earth have I been cranking out jokes lately?

Anyway, here is a reflection on friendzone and reflexivity.

Girl: You are so caring, smart and funny. I wish I could find a guy just like you.
Guy (thinking): Are you kidding me? I am a guy just like me.

It's all part of my plan, Evgeny. I wanted you to use all of your good jokes so I can spend the second half of this year with my own and take the title from you in December. What's the point of owning a website if you can't use it to give yourself awards and adoration? ;)

Awwww! We all adore you anyway.

What is the only trig expression Jesus mentions in the Bible?
Hint: tan(x)csc(x)
Answer: "secant ye shall find" to be the only reference
Proof:
1) Let x=unknown
2) Let unknown=doubt
3) Let Jesus eliminate any sin(doubt)

A woman asked her Mathematical boyfriend: "How do I look tonight, dear?"

He replies [math]\frac{tan(c)}{sin(c)}[/math]

She says "What?"

[math]\frac{tan(c)}{sin(c)} = \frac{\frac{sin(c)}{cos(c)}}{sin(c)}[/math]

[math]= \frac{1}{cos(c)} = sec(c)[/math]

I'll have to try that one out. My typical goal when looking for a date is to find someone who knows how to use the word "orthogonal" in casual conversation. Perhaps this method will work better.

When someone says "I love you infinity plus one", I immediately love them less because of their failure to grasp basic mathematical concepts.

Don't be so quick. If $\omega$ is the order-type of natural numbers, then $\omega+1$ is a well-defined concept. See ordinal arithmetic.

Speaking of infinite sets, there is a mathematical variant of the song "99 Bottles of Beer". I encountered an opinion that "Aleph-Naught bottles of beer on the wall" is the longest song ever. I am not sure about aleph-naught, denoted by $\aleph_0$, which is the cardinality of natural numbers, but if it is replaced by $\omega$, then the song is definitely finite since $\omega$ is well-founded, i.e., there is no infinite chain $\omega>n_1>n_2>\dots$.

The scientists at SETI finally decoded a message which appears to be proof of intelligent life in the universe. Unfortunately, it doesn't make sense:

Itu, the Eye-Pie, and won snot.

Hello again gentlemen, I hope you enjoyed the (relatively short) time you've spent on MHB without me. Thus I inform, with regret, that you all are, once again, going to see the dark days of MHB now that I've returned. To celebrate this historical moment, I am going to start with a joke I've heard in recent times of my imprisonment in the dungeons of the Necromancer.

At least it is still about reals. Otherwise it would become... complex.

It took me a bit of time before I realized they misspelled Itu.
So yeah, it doesn't make sense.

I think we should integrate the two approaches.

Wait, I don't get it. Is that referring to "e to the (power of) i pi"? I can't make sense of won snot.

It is deliberately misspelling/slangifying "e to the (power of) i pi and one is not(hing)".
