Sorry, Calculus is ruining my brain. *twitch* The area enclosed by a deltoid? What? NOOOOO!
Well, to solve this problem we would have to define exactly what a "lick" is.

If a lick is an act of placing your tounge and then moving it on the pop, then I have a simple answer for you.

One lick is the answer... How is this possible you ask??

Simple, put the tootsie roll pop on/in a "spin pop" device and never take your tounge off the pop, and just push the spin pop button to rotate the tootsie roll pop. Presto.. one defined "lick" and you're to the center.

Now to take this even a step further, lets take the pop itself.. You can never really reach the "center" of a sphere if it has a stick in the middle of it!!!

So, it is truely impossible; if you don't agree with the answer that the one lick solution works that is!!!
