Is this a Perpetuum chocolatee?

This hurts my brain, are yoy able to explain what the fuck is going on

Some of the pieces are growing, but it’s cut at an angle so the growing is spread over a large area, and the growing happens as pieces are moving around, making it hard to notice.

(Specifically it’s the pieces 2 and 3 wide with an angled cut on the bottom that grow).

This is what I had assumed was happening, its just done in such a good way that it can really make you shake your head.

The gif is kinda misleading. The volume of the chocolate shrinks when you do this trick. You can actually notice some is missing. Mostly because it's cut in a weird way

This can be nice mathematical problem. Determine the largest slice that can be taken out while the remaining contents can be formed into a circle.

Yea, but the answer is none. Because radius of first pizza is constant.

No longer a mathematical problem, but determine the largest piece that can be removed, before it becomes apparent to onlookers that the leftover pizza has been tampered with.

The big piece looks like someone cut out a circle from the middle and then tried to put it back and it's bothering me.

Many pizza places actually do this to fit the pie in the box, and they'll sell the big slice as single serving

i guess this works if you originally first cut the pizza like a psycho
