How To Cut A Pizza

The first question I ask is how many degrees are in a circle?
The correct answer is, of course, three hundred and sixty.
Now, the next question I ask is, what is 360 divided by 6?
(Six being the number of slices in a standard slice pie, a pizza
designed 
to be sold by the slice.) The correct answer this time
happens to be 60, naturally, and which also happens to be the
number of degrees in one corner of an equilateral triangle. 
Taking
this knowledge, and then, considering the universally
transferable adage of measure twice, cut once, and with the 
assumption that the pizza you are dealing with is as perfectly 
round as can be, select a point on the crust from where across
the rest of the pizza and to the opposite point you can detect
a sort of symmetry that you would like to emphasize and
compartmentalize. Now find the center point of the pizza. 
Firmly break through the crust with the blade, and, with some
downward force, draw the blade across the surface of the
pizza, through the center point and across to the antipodal
point of selection, again breaking through firmly the crust.
Turn the pizza 60 degrees and repeat the same cutting action, 
resulting now in 2 opposing 60 degree angles and 2 opposing
120 degree angles, or what I like to call, god's bow tie. And now, 
turn the pizza for the second time, and cut for the third, as accur-
ately through the middle of the pie as possible. With practice, of
course, you will gain accuracy, as well as speed. You can now
also practice the number of resulting slices by adjusting the size
of the angles. Bon Mathématiques!

To Donald Trump (comment via Whitehouse.gov/contact)

 Dear Mr . President,


I am an avid follower of your work. The things you have done to and for our country are certainly unprecedented, as only the strategy of a keen eye from a brilliant businessman can offer. I myself can and do also see ways that we can improve our nation, though those ways have more to do with making us greater in ways never before considered possible rather than those that would provide more of the same. I don't think it's too late for anyone to experience an healthy change of heart and mind, which you, sir, with utmost respect, seem to be long overdue for.

Life is not about any one thing, especially not something as mundane as making as much money as possible, which from all angles is how I inevitably see you. I only hope you can convince me otherwise; I can't imagine you doing a single charitable act for anyone, without concentrating on your bottom line.

I admit, I am an addict, and so I struggle with my own. I am happy enough when I find myself breaking even in the week leading up to payday. This isn't an underhanded asking of handouts by the way; just letting you know of the disparity, the people who still count pennies when you certainly couldn't be bothered.

I've recently deactivated my social media in the wake of the killing of Renee Nicole Good. I have said what I have needed to say, for better or worse, in all accounts, and now that book for me is closed, I am now considering physical media and in-person contact to be fundamentally crucial to my well being. Anything without a digital footprint. I am writing to you here, now, because it is of course the best way.

I didn't plan on writing this either. But everything seems to be coming to a head, y'know? 

I hope you're doing well. Let me know if there's anything I can do. I am willing and would be happy to help.


Truly,

MathYou
