    I don’t understand how pumpkin pie is toast, but cheesecake is a quiche. Shouldn’t they be the same whichever they are?

      It’s hard to tell whether the difference is that the pumpkin pie crust is “slanted” while the cheesecake crust is vertical, or that the pumpkin pie is a single slice while a “quiche”-topology cheesecake is intended to be eaten whole.

        So if I understand right, the cube rule is giving permission to eat a whole cheesecake, but not a whole pumpkin pie?

          Yes, that is the brilliant simplicity of the cube rule.

      Don’t forget that sliced pie is a taco to add more confusion!!!
