  • Okay, but none of that applies to waffles. They said they wanted more squares for syrup, but they actually got more unused space on the waffle surface.

    I guess I’m not the “figure out how to fit a prime number into a square” kind of autistic, I’m the “why would you want to do that” kind of autistic.

    To me, square numbers are beautiful because of how harmoniously they can be arranged, and prime numbers are beautiful because of how unique and impossible to neatly arrange they are. Trying to treat one like the other feels like an itch that can’t be scratched…






  • But you can fit 25 squares into the same space. This isn’t efficiency, it’s just wasted space and bad planning.

    You raised the packing coefficient by ⅝ to squeeze one extra square in with all that wasted space, so don’t argue that 25 squares has a packing coefficient of 5. Another ⅜ will get you an extra 8 squares, and no wasted space.
