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

[Lui]

Let:

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

2B + F = S.

S / 2 <> 2S.

or for the simple people:

2B + F = S.
S/2=1B+(1/2 F)
1B+(1/2 F)=Half Sandwich

 

[Lui]

Let:

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

2B + F = S.

S / 2 <> 2S.

what does <> mean, not sure which side your on?

hmm, didnt realise the above made a post, wasnt sure if it wa one or two, so thought i would make it so it was one, but guess he did that anyways seeing replies

Greater or less than (or does not equal). So one sandwich.

 

[Cookie-Monster]

Not equal to

 

[Otacon]

Not equal too. The maths is irrelevant here anyway, as by definition, a sandwich is a filling 'sandwiched' between two pieces of bread. Not slices.

 

[SourChipmunk]

I could murder a vertical bacon sandwich...

WTH? When did that come about?

 

[Otacon]

Camping meet folk know what I mean, not related to this debate

 

[Lui]

Greater or less than (or does not equal). So one sandwich.

ah cheers

yep, he is definatly right

 

[Jumpingmedic]

It's rather depressing to see a thread on sandwich semantics get to 14 pages worth of interest.

Gah, no wonder humanity's falling apart, we're more worried about sandwiches than society

Sandwiches are much more edible and nourishing.

It's slices!

Two or more slices of bread ... <SNIP>

We still need a poll. Winners take all.

That wiki link has turned up at least 10 times in this thread already. It provided no proof. Therefore we need actual numbers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich

The sandwich is a food item typically consisting of two slices of bread.

Typically, not exclusively.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=sandwich

One slice of bread covered with a filling.

Careful what you quote

yep a poll would be good, but the dons always **** around with them, so who ever the dons think will win.

it happens on all stupid threads, like the tig/tag/it thread

 

[Andr3w]

i can see this thread been discussed by scientist soon

 

[phykell]

How about at a buffet then?

If I asked someone to get me a sandwich at a buffet and they came back with a single quarter of the original sandwich, I wouldn't be best pleased! Would you?

 

[Whitewater]

<SNIP> ... Careful what you quote

It still doesn't change the fact that one sandwich cut in half is still just one sandwich

 

[Otacon]

Nay, I said earlier in the thread, that's a more efficient way to create 2 sandwiches. And that's correct tbh.

 

[Apopcalyptic]

Definitely two. Never forget that you can make a sandwich with a single slice of bread... Oh, and I'm Northern (White Rose, not red )

 

[Whitewater]

<SNIP> ... Never forget that you can make a sandwich with a single slice of bread ... <SNIP>

Absolutely, but if you cut it in half it's still one sandwich in two halves



Edit: We must settle this with a poll, or a duel
