It does assume only one cutting point interior to the pizza:

“Let p be an interior point of the disk, and let n be a multiple of 4 that is greater than or equal to 8. Form n sectors of the disk with equal angles by choosing an arbitrary line through p, rotating the line ⁠n/2⁠ − 1 times by an angle of ⁠2π/n⁠ radians, and slicing the disk on each of the resulting ⁠n/2⁠ lines.”

My previous comment may have been ambiguous, so I’ve edited it to be clearer. I meant that very rarely do all of the cuts go through one point - when slices are uneven in my experience, that usually comes along with a few extra mini-triangles in the middle of the pizza where the cuts have missed each other.

This assumes there’s a single cutting point in the interior of the pizza, which has not typically been my experience in situations where this would have been an issue.

Edited for clarity.

As others have pointed out, these words are homophonous in most North American English dialects, but for more context, this is due to a phenomenon called flapping.

Basically, even though /d/ and /t/ are phonemic (that is, contrastive; speakers can use them to distinguish words and hear them as different sounds) in English, in certain positions in the middle of a word (specifically when placed between a stressed vowel and an unstressed vowel), both the /d/ and the /t/ become a different sound, flap/tap. See, e.g. butter, bottle, writing, riding, wedding, loader, etc.

And, since they both become flap in this position, the contrast between them is neutralized, meaning that they are pronounced identically and speakers can no longer tell them apart, creating many sets of homophones in the process like “latter” and “ladder”.

There are further interesting complexities in flapping across English dialects, in particular the interaction of flapping with Canadian Raising, so if anyone has any questions or wants me to go into more detail, let me know!

She specifically did do that though. Like, it was a whole big deal that one of the characters came out the other end able to heal and do great things afterwards.

Animorphs goes surprisingly hard. I fully recommend it and got more out of rereading it as an adult than I got as a child. It goes a little off the rails once it starts being ghostwritten, but the ending is excellent and very much worth getting to.

How difficult/expensive/time-consuming is it to get a government ID in Europe? Is it something that’s sent to you with basically no action or money on your part?
