"The standard way to avoid all such problems is to let one person cut the pizza in two halves, and the other person choose who gets which half." Unrelated to the intellectual pursuit of the problem, but this algorithm is a bit of a silly sore point for me. Several years ago I used to periodically split a giant burrito with my friend and I proposed the above algorithm. So I cut it and my friend would choose a half. After a couple times I realized that thanks to the fact that it's not humanly possible to cut it in half perfectly, the person choosing will always get the bigger half. Clearly my friend realized the same thing as he always insisted that I do the cutting!
