Pumpkin pie
I have some pumpkin pie. One-half of the pie is cut into four equal slices, and the other half is cut into three equal slices. After eating one of the larger slices (on the three-piece side), I wonder if I will eat more if I have one more from the three sides or two from the four sides.
