optimal amount of syrup

  Except the 17 square version holds less syrup than the 16 square version because you need to reduce the size of the squares to fit more of them.

    If you take the original 16 squares and cut them each in half, you can have 32 squares. Doctorate now, please.

      If the squares are half the size, you get 4x the number of squares, assuming you’re measuring side length and not area.

    For those who didn’t know you can just pour as much syrup as you like, regardless of the square count.

  Why we don’t make one giant square to hold even more syrup?

    Because then it gets too soggy in the middle. The magic of the waffle is that the tops of the square dividers stay mostly dry until you start cutting into them. So you get freshly syruped waffle throughout the eating process.

    What you want is infinite squares, so you get infinite crispy edges

  I keep telling people that you can make nice, even months if you just have 13 of them but nooooo, 13 is a prime number, you can’t divide it by 2, 3, 4, or 6! Boo fucking hoo, I want every month in the year to start on the same day of the week.

  I wonder if John Bidwell is haunted by his discovery. I know I would be. That shit is cursed as fuck.

  Aren’t Hexagons the bestagon for tiling a plane for most holding capacity while reducing the “walls” than any shape?

    This here is just the best known solution to packing 17 squares specifically

  • FishFace@piefed.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The honeycomb theorem is actually better than that: there isn’t any way to divide up the plane with equal-area shapes (even if it’s not a tiling in the sense of having any pattern) it won’t be better than hexagons.

    But that video can die in a fire!

    If they don’t appreciate the 17-square waffle, they don’t deserve it.

  TIL the shape in waffle is to hold syrup.

    It holds blueberries very well too!

  I don’t think waffle enjoyers want one more square in the same waffle, they want a specific shape and ayruo/butter ratio per square. This waffle bricks that with its thick sections.

  Shapes are dumb.

  Great. Now cut that into 8 equal bites without spilling any syrup.

  Fuckin’ dumbass. THIS is what is meant by “book smart but not street smart”.
