    I agree, the kid is correct. This is the only viable answer.

          Which does not preclude him also eating 1/6 each of Martha’s, Denise’s, and Sam’s pizzas.

          It does not state that Marty only ate 4/6 of his pizza. Nor that he ate only of his own pizza. It defined a minimum pizza consumption threshold for Marty without further details.

            You have to use the variables given. He ate 4/6 of his pizza and the other guy ate 5/6. Saying he ate the other guys pizza would result in a tie (not more) and is not an option. The answer they wanted was “impossible”, the kid gave the only real shenanigan proof viable answer.
