This is a way to produce infinite number of pizzas. If you cut it into 0.5 pieces you will get 2 pizzas. If you cut it into 0.25 pieces you will get 4 pizzas. If you follow that logic, cutting pizza into 0 pieces should give you infinite number of pizzas. At least this is a limit of 1/x when x->0

Unfortunately cutting pizza is defined only on natural numbers.
