FACTS CONSIDERED

A friend took the last slice of shared pizza without offering it to the group. No exception is shown.

RULING

The friend committed a violation. The final slice could not lawfully leave the shared box until it had been offered to the group and five full seconds had passed. Neither step occurred. The last slice was therefore taken before its release from public service.

REMEDY

The friend must provide the next shared pizza and formally offer its final slice to the group. The required five-second waiting period must be observed in complete silence.
