CityOpen answer

Grandmother cut a round pizza into \(6\) equilateral triangles and \(6\) circular segments, as in the picture. Each of her \(6\) grandchildren ate one triangle. The grandchildren do not like the crust, so the dog Muri ate all six circular segments. Who ate more pizza, one grandchild or Muri?

(You may use the estimates \(\frac{31}{10} < \pi < \frac{22}{7}\).)

The six shaded pieces are the ones Muri ate.
