    The teacher didn’t write OR understand the question. It’s about reasonableness - that is, not just mindlessly solving math. The solution is that Marty’s pizza was bigger, so 4/6 of that was more than 5/6 of Luis’, smaller pizza.

    There is no lie. The teached is just dumb. Or more likely overworked, but wrong nontheless.

      This is not that level of reasoning. This is basically 4 < 5 if they’re both over 6. This is introducing fractions… It’s not that deep.
