…I’d have to buy 7 packs of tortillas and 6 packs of cheese before coming close enough to matching 1:1 with only 1 cheese slice left at the end so just eat the last fucking cheese slice by itself.

And please don’t try to make too much sense of my diagram up there because I made 2 mistakes that only make sense to me & I don’t feel like explaining.

But what I REALLY want to know: If you’re aware of an algebraic method for solving this timeless hot dog bun vs hot dog conundrum, please share your wisdom.

    33 cheeses and 32 tortillas…?

    Also 7x8=56 and 6x11=66, so you’d have 10 left over, not 1. What the hell were you smoking? You could eat a tortilla without a slice of cheese, though.

      You’re right, my erroneous figuring came from counting the squares & circles I scrawled on that primitive diagram. That’s why I’m glad I came here for y’all to show me the real math & correct solution.

      So 4 packs of tortillas & 3 packs of cheese would be the least I could buy to come closest to my 1:1 wish, with just one trivial thing left over.

      Thank you!
