It does not state that Marty only ate 4/6 of his pizza. Nor that he ate only of his own pizza. It defined a minimum pizza consumption threshold for Marty without further details.
Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit

You have to use the variables given. He ate 4/6 of his pizza and the other guy ate 5/6. Saying he ate the other guys pizza would result in a tie (not more) and is not an option. The answer they wanted was “impossible”, the kid gave the only real shenanigan proof viable answer.

Which does not preclude him also eating 1/6 each of Martha’s, Denise’s, and Sam’s pizzas.
