    I’ve never seen so many people who are proud that they don’t understand an elementary-school level math, this is hilarious.

      4/6 of an extra large pizza is more pizza than 5/6 of a personal pan pizza. How are you struggling with this?

      What people are trying to tell you is that when you’ve studied Logic at University level “basic assumptions” in elementary school level math aren’t always what they seem to be.

      I agree it’s not very relevant though, seeing as we know what level this particular math question is at.

      You’re the dope that doesn’t get the math.

      4/6 x > 5/6 y

      x > 5/4 y

      Where this relation holds the statement is consistent. I think you should revisit some basics.
