Example of application of the theorem with eight sectors: by cutting the pizza along the blue lines and, alternately taking one slice each, proceeding clockwise or counterclockwise, two diners eat the same amount (measured in area) of pizza. Proof without words for 8 sectors by Carter & Wagon (1994a).
The Pizza Principle, or the Pizza-Subway Connection, in New York City, is a humorous but generally historically accurate "economic law" proposed by native New Yorker Eric M. Bram. [1] He noted, as reported by The New York Times in 1980, that from the early 1960s "the price of a slice of pizza has matched, with uncanny precision, the cost of a New York subway ride."

An application of the theorem is seen when a flat object is somewhat folded or bent along a line, creating rigidity in the perpendicular direction. This is of practical use in construction, as well as in a common pizza-eating strategy: A flat slice of pizza can be seen as a surface with constant Gaussian curvature 0. Gently bending a slice must ...

For example, if you typically weigh yourself as soon as you wake up, try hopping straight into the shower instead, then get dressed. Replace the habit with something neutral, positive, or ...
Say, for example, that you anticipated spending $60,000 per year and you have $25,000 coming from Social Security. In this particular situation, you would need your nest egg to produce $35,000.
