If there are 3 people, and they each get 2 slices, that is 6 slices.

So, throwing away 2 slices, because there is 8 total, is fine, as you stated that is everybody’s agreed minimum desired amount.

And there is no knife, nor protractor.

What is the difference between the worst and best compromise? If it is a compromise, it is a compromise.
