There are eight slices of pizza in the box. Eight people took one slice each. In the end there are one slice of pizza left in the box. How is this possible?

Because it was not eaten, and placed back as leftover.
You did not specifically say the slices were eaten, from there it was a quick deduction.

Nope, each person still have a slice of pizza, it was never placed back.
Doesnt matter if they were eaten or not.

Was one of the slices cut into two slices before being taken?

One of the slices of pizza came from somewhere else.

Someone already took a slice before you said there were eight in the box? hue

There are really 9 slices of pizza in the box; you never said that there are exactly 8 slices in the box, so it could be either more or less, and in this case, it is more.

Is it that the problem is referencing to two different boxes?

Is the "slice of pizza" not really the edible food we're thinking of, but still called that for the problem's sake?

The last person to take a slice just grabbed the whole box. He still took a slice, it's just still in the box as well.

Well I suppose it's too late to weigh in on - 'aliens' - being the answer :(
