Who would've imagined that there would be a science to slicing pizza? As far as any pizza lover knows, it's sliced into at least 8 pieces shaped in a humongous triangle. However, two mathematicians from the University of Liverpool had discovered numerous scientific ways to slicing pizza in the same size and shape. Their technique to slicing pizza is called the process of monohedral disk-tiling.

Mono what now? Monohedral disk-tiling is basically cutting six curved pieces of the pizza, and then cutting those in half to get 12 slices - all of the same size and shape. Now, how's that for equal slices of pizza? This method works best on those who are trying to avoid pizza toppings usually found at the center.

"Mathematically there is no limit whatsoever," explained one of the mathematicians with regards to how many slices this process could create.

The only problem to this method is who would have time to even work slicing the pizza in the monohedral way? As an exclusive report by Quartz states, this mathematical and scientific method created by Joel Haddley and Stephen Worsley "poses several immediate problems."

What if there are no mathematicians around to slice the pizza for you? What about the crust part of the pizza? Isn't this taken into account? As for both Haddley and Worsley, the two mathematicians continue to search for all possible solutions to slicing a pizza into more than just 12 equally-sized pieces.

"A very difficult challenge would be to prove that we have found all such solutions," stated Haddley, adding, "We also still haven't found a tiling with the property that the center is contained entirely within a tile, or such that the center is on an edge of a tile. In all our examples, it is on a vertex (corner). To my knowledge, no one has, and I've no idea whether such a tiling exists, and if it doesn't exist how to prove it doesn't."
