ChatGPT (I gave no hints in my prompt):
To estimate how many people the *12 pizzas* were for, we can use a standard rule of thumb:
### General pizza math:
* A *large pizza* usually has *8 slices*.
* Most people eat *2–3 slices*.
So:
* *12 pizzas × 8 slices = 96 slices total*
* If people ate:
* **2 slices each** → feeds **48 people**
* **3 slices each** → feeds **32 people**
### Most likely case:
Since this was for a *team* within a 5,000-employee company — probably a local team (not the whole company) — the number of people was likely in the *25–40* range.
### Final Estimate:
*12 pizzas would reasonably feed about 30 to 40 people*, assuming average appetites.
- lostlogin 1y agoBetter than AI: ask someone who has ordered lots of piazza recently. You need more than you think as not all pizzas will be the same flavour. The vegetarian ones will get eaten immediately by people who aren’t vegetarian. Then the complaints roll in. Apply this to various other pizza type. Order 1 pizza for every two people.
- rkomorn 1y agoHaven't ordered any piazza recently. Last one I saw was Mike Piazza at a Mets game, so it's been a while.
- BobaFloutist 1y agoCheese pizza is acceptable to vegetarian and meat eaters alike. Barring a disproportionately vegetarian crowd, most groups would be perfectly happy with 50% cheese pizza and 25% each veggie or meat combo/pepperoni. The less sure you are about people's dietary preferences, the higher you crank the cheese %. If it turns out there's a huge population of like gluten free, you say "Ah my bad" and correct the next time.
