I see Sheldon has some problems with basic math, not that it is
unexpected...

Is Sheldon talking about a cup of uncooked rice, or a cup of cooked rice? A
cup (8 ounces) of cooked rice will obviously fit very comfortably in a quart
(32 ounce) pot. A cup of uncooked rice will not fit very well in a quart pot
when cooked, but then that yields at least 4 to 6 servings. What part of
"cooking for one or two" does Sheldon not understand? Maybe he eats 4 to 6
servings himself at one sitting?

On the soup, a 10 to 12 ounce serving is quite generous if it is not the
only thing being eaten at a meal. It will obviously fit in a 32 ounce (1
quart) pot. Perhaps Sheldon considers a quart to be a single serving?

I think it's time to get the flash cards back out, Sheldon. Didn't they
cover this basic stuff in the 4th grade? I guess you weren't paying
attention.
