Poll: How many sandwiches ? (now with a poll!)

[Whitewater]

At the end of the day, its the same argument as..... half full/half empty.

its just personal perception.

I see your point. But it's one sandwich

 

[Johno please?]

I see your point. But it's one sandwich

Yea........ cut into two..... making two sandwhiches.

[Matallica]

Any sort of conclusion/agreement been made yet ?

I think we're halfway there

 

[Gilly]

Yeah. Its 2.

It's one sandwich, cut in half. How hard is that to understand?

At the end of the day,

Management terminology. Lose it.

its the same argument as..... half full/half empty.

No, that one's much easier. If you're in the process of filling it, its half-full. If you're emptying it, its half-empty. There is no optimist/pessimist approach.

 

[Whitewater]

Any sort of conclusion/agreement been made yet ?

Yes, it's one sandwich.

IDST!

 

[G|mp]

Yeah. Its 2.

Its inbuilt in people from Yorkshire to look on the bright side of
everything having little through the ages they encourage their young
to be optimistic about little things such as sandwiches

Therefore faced with a singular sandwich they cut it in half and
proclaim to have 2 "whole" snacks

This they cannot be knocked for merely mocked

 

[Al Vallario]

Can't see where you lot are going wrong

 

[SourChipmunk]

^ heh heh. Cute drawing.

But, judging from your pic, I would say you made one sandwich and cut it in half rather than make two sandwiches there. Surely you didn't draw out the two halves seperately.

Well can't we just 'think out of the box' for a while.

How can it not be one, come on. It's one sandwich cut into 2 halves.

 

[Dave]

Two sandwii

 

[D.P.]

with out reading 14 pages of sympatic madness, i'll add my 2p worth (that is 1 whole 2 ps, not 2 1ps)

What if you buttered only a single slice of bread, put a filling in. folded it it in half/ cut it in half and folded over.

Would that somehow not be a sandwich?
No, it is still a sandwich, but a 1-slice sandwich

Thereby, a 2-slice sandwich cut in half becomes 2 1-slice sandwiches.

Geordies dont have this problem because we generally eat stottie sandwiches.

ive only had one, and dont know anyone thats eats them either

Can't see where you lot are going wrong

the definitions say slices not pieces/slices of slices

well, no, that wouldnt be a sandwich, it is not 2 slices of bread, and who would do that anyway?

 

[Whitewater]

Let:

S = Sandwich,
B = 1 Slice of Bread,
F = Filling.

2B + F = S.

S / 2 <> 2S.

 

[SourChipmunk]

Let:

S = Sandwich,
B = 1 Slice of Bread,
F = Filling.

2B + F = S.

S / 2 <> 2S.

That actually works nicely.
