David Wilson asks:
Do all these muffin results justify a paper?
I think so.
One problem that would have to be addressed is the fact that there are at least four different normalizations that have been used by the various people working on muffin-cutting! Namely, letting the sum of all pieces be 1, letting the size of each muffin be 1, letting each muffin have size equal to the number of people, and scaling away the denominators so that the set of sizes form a relatively prime set of integers.
