Perfect! Now it will be easy to see who the real sneaky snake is eating all of the cake.

I note the total lack of a nonius or vernier scale. (The plate is marked in degrees, not millimeters by the way.) They call that fair? A 360th of the cake! What kind of precision is that?

Besides, the cake's a little thinner on my side. How very convenient for you. What's the formula to compensate for that? And has it been approved by the international committee of cake ethics?

Now don't give me your "let's just weigh the pieces" idea again. Can't you see it's a marble cake? You'll have all the good chocolate parts again, and all I get is dry and crumbly bits. No way.

I demand we do an MRI scan to calculate the spatial integral of the distribution of cocoa solids. What, you don't have an MRI scanner? Okay, go and make arrangements to rent one. Meanwhile I will watch the cake.
