The tweet was shared by Fermat's Library, and it had received over 70k likes and 35.4k retweets. "Here's a useful counterintuitive fact: one 18 inch pizza has more 'pizza' than two 12 inch pizzas," read the caption to the post. In the picture, we could see the comparison of a single 18-inch pizza versus two 12-inch ones. A simple mathematical formula was applied to calculate the area of the pizzas, and it turned out that the area was larger for the larger pizza as opposed to the two smaller ones.

Internet users couldn't keep calm about the simple mathematical hack to get more pizza. While some called it 'life-changing', others said that this was the reason why Maths was an important life skill.
