Couple's perfect orange cutting challengefrom @hellodimeji

[01]

Overview

A man and a woman agree to a challenge where they each cut an orange, and the person who cuts it most perfectly in half wins the right to choose their dinner. The woman cuts her orange first, and they weigh the two halves on a digital scale. The man then takes his turn, and after weighing his results, the woman is declared the winner because her cut was more even.
