    The answer isn't "It isn't".

    The kid has demonstrated how it is possible by giving the correct answer

    The teacher's comment is wrong.

    Well no - you're told Marty ate more than Luis. You can't go changing assumptions which are stated in the question!
    Well, you can - the teacher said it was NOT possible in the answer, after all.

    Jesus Christ, I'm beginning to think some of these test answers might be right based on the arguments here.

    The teacher is wrong. That's literally the whole joke!

    Well, it all depends on how much bigger the pizza is. It may turn out that both got the same amount.
    5 slices are the same as 4 slices of a 25% bigger pizza.
