Well, there are 8 bits in a byte, so there must be 8 bites in a sammich, obviously.
That's a 64 bits sammich.
Each bit is an ingredient.
2 bits bread
1 bit ham
1 bit cheese
1 bit lettuce
1 bit tomato
1 bit pickles
1 bit mayonnaise
So when you divide it all out, it's only 8 bites.
Bro, nibble the crust first, then there are so many glorious crustless bites. Or just cut it off.
All of them.
I'm sorry.
I normally do a ton of nibbles. What's the conversion rate of nibbles to bites? And are chomps just a US unit of measurement?
A nibble, four bits, is half a byte, eight bits.
Doing everything to dogde the metric system 🇺🇸🦅
The Internet was never the same after Europe adopted the 10-bit metric byte.
This would make for an awesome Cyberpunk TTRPG setting… an evil villain letting free a virus that transforms every bit into a 10-bit metric byte. Items being unusable unless decoded, etc.
All units that use body parts are US ones.
How many foreskins is that?
Your size or mine?
I quite like the crust, but could you not slice the crust off? That would likely improve the bread to crust ratio considerably.
(Ingredients-1)^2^ +2
9-12
I would agree with this. The rational part of me likes to try and eat a sandwich in a 3x3 grid of bites, right-to-left, working my way downward.
But, I'm a wacky, inconsistent li'l bitch, so it almost never works out that way. But, I don't think I ever exceed 12 bites. That's a pretty solid ballpark range.
