| Dec 29, 2012 at 21:11 | comment | added | Paul Siegel | Whatever you decide, you should force those who attend your party to devise a scheme which guarantees that every participant obtains at least a fair share of the cake by his or her own measure. This is easy with two people, but it is already a fairly challenging problem with three people. | |

| Dec 29, 2012 at 18:27 | comment | added | Pietro Majer | I would go for the Pythagorean theorem, with a picture of the right triangle and squares. An evergreen that everybody will appreciate! | |
| Dec 29, 2012 at 17:17 | comment | added | Andrés E. Caicedo | There used to be a "logic picnic" at the beginning of the fall semester at Berkeley while I was there. John Addison would always bring a "logic cake" full of formulas (the statement of determinacy, or something about P vs NP or ...) that the attendants had to decipher. | |

| Dec 29, 2012 at 14:05 | comment | added | user9072 | Sorry but this is really off-topic. Voted to close. Not famous but perhaps also fitting given the context: $(x^2 + y^2 -1)^3 - x^2 y^3 =0$ or something like this (see mathworld.wolfram.com/HeartCurve.html) | |
