TRUTH !!
Let's do some math.
If a pizza has a diameter of 18 inches, that means it has an area of 254.47
square inches.
And if a pizza has a diameter of 12 inches, then it has an area of 113.1
square inches. If you get two of them, you're at 226.2 square inches, which
is still less than one 18-inch pizza.

So next time you're figuring out what size pizza to buy, use the price per
square inch, not just what feels right.

I also did not come up with the same answer as you did for number 4.
I thought it was Naval Criminal Investigative Service (thinking of the TV shows with NCIS in their title) ...
So I checked the interweb and came up with a lot more correct answers :eek:
