Keyword being "simple". The common sense solution often turns out to be unsound based on a more detailed perception of the situation

"Spying"

>The FBI in 2023 sought and obtained data about the senators’ phone use from January 4 through January 7, 2021. That data shows when and to whom a call is made, as well as the duration and general location data of the call. The data does not include the content of the call.

I'd assume that's a typo of "violence or hatred"

The law actually says "anything of value of $5,000 or more". The majority opinion is just arguing in bad faith there

I'd guess that it speaks to the "knew charges were coming" bit to support that they were specifically fleeing the law and not disappearing to escape a bookie or an annoying family member or something

> I remember having to hustle to get from one end of campus to the other in those 10 minutes

Yeah, personally I read it less as 50 minutes being some biological limit of human attention and more as once you go over people start thinking about how much longer you're going to be, how long it'll take to get to their class, weighing missing the end of this talk vs the start of the next one vs skipping their bathroom break/sprinting. Plus the added the distraction of people who have reached their limit getting up and squeezing their way past to leave.

Couldn't you just 1. Draw an arbitrary line through the cake 2. Set each person's valuation of a point on the line equal to their valuation of the cross section throgh that point 3. Use the algorithm to cut the 1D pseudocake 4. Make the corresponding cross sectional cuts to the real cake

Actually for round cakes you could even make normal (wedge-shaped) pieces by re-parameterizing distance along the line as angle and cross sections as infinitesimal wedges.

Edit: And for the rectangular cake you could slice the cake up along one axis and line those pieces up end-to-end first so that the cross sections would have a reasonable width instead of having slices as wide as the whole cake

6^5 ends in ...76

6^25 ends in ...376

6^125 ends in ...9376

6^625 ends in ...09376

and so on

That'd be the equivalent of scraping your dishes, not rinsing them
