If you have experienced the problem of kids fighting over un-
proportionately cut pies or pizzas or you are just obsessed
with cutting your food in equal parts then the graduated
plate is the solution for you.
It is like any other plate with the crucial exception of having
graduations at its
outer edge in centimeters, inches and
degrees.

Could be reprogrammed for pizza ... [8th of 7, Nov 13 2010]

I taught my kids geometry by getting them to work out how much cake they should get by various methods. |
|
| |
This device would bring laziness and ignorance to an otherwise mathematically civilised world, leading inevitably to the collapse of civilisation. |
|
| |
Kids should learn to use instruments. |
|
| |
That's right.
Those highschool dropout plates don't deserve any pizza anyhow. |
|
| |
You will need a method of fixing the pizza to the plate; any rotational or translational movement will make the graduations worthless. |
|
| |
Surely it is not beyond the wit of man to inkjet markings
onto pizzae? |
|
| |
Your pet octopus could do it, Shirley. |
|
| |
[+] This is brilliant and deserves more buns. |
|
| |
That, and also, good for you, [Twizz]! |
|
| |
Welcome to the halfbakery, [kkowlgi]. |
|
| |
I fail to see how graduations in inches or cm's are going to help. |
|
| |
I think a grid would actually be more useful. |
|
| |
Use scales. After all, your ravening hoardes do not want
equal areas or equal radii. They want equal mass. |
|
| |
Looks redundant to me. See [xandram's] link. |
|
| |
Thanks for the tip Dr Worm. A grid would help cut smaller
food. |
|
| |
Octopie is brilliant, but it is a mould. Graduated plate is
suitable for any number of pieces. |
|
| |
The food can be temporarily fixed by fork or a hand. |
|
| |
@MaxwellBuchanan: the graduated plate is only limited to
food having a homogenous density |
|
| |
Is it theoretically possible to fold a pizza, and then divide it into many even equal portions with one cut? |
|
| |
TO solve the pizza homogeneousity issue, the plate could rotate and have a digital readout like a wheel-balancing machine used in tyre garages.Small pieces of mushroom or olive could be added to the edge until it is perfectly balanced. Then the pizza can be cut according to the gradations on the plate rim. |
|
| |
Black olives, or green olives ? |
|
| |
Could we have it with a diameter of exactly ten inches and, consequently, a suggestively irrational number of inches around the edge? |
|
| |
Oh, and welcome to the half pizza-oven, [kkowlgi]. No, I mean, bacon to the half-whelkery. No, that's not right. Pull up a chair, anyway, and make yourself at home. |
