John Conway and Pizza Hut, that's quite and unusual pairing!

I haven't tried these puzzles yet (they look like fun) but I'm extremely impressed that someone at Pizza Hut had the smarts to contact John Conway for help in coming with this. Is there a mathematician behind the scene at The Hut?

Maybe they saw some of his interviews on the numberphile.com site.
