Think doubling always works? Think again. Start with one point on a circle — one slice. Two points? Two slices. Four? Eight. Five? Sixteen. It seems perfect… until six points, which break the pattern with thirty-one slices instead of thirty-two. This quirky math puzzle, Moser’s circle problem, reveals how even the most obvious patterns can mislead. The real answer lies in counting intersections and edges — and it’s not just about pizza cuts, but a lesson in humility: never assume a pattern holds forever.
