Why cook at 350° for 55 minutes when the math says you can just cook it at 19250° for one minute?
@catsalad This is why mathematicians are made to sit in the corner with their close cousins, the economists. Statisticians and logisticians are usually allowed out, but only as long as they behave themselves.
@StarkRG Economists: When you like math, but you also like being evil.
@catsalad Economics is the unholy union of statistics and sociology. You can lie with statistics, but you can destroy the world over a long weekend with economics.
@catsalad Tech enthusiasts: Why cook at 350° for 55 minutes when the math says you can just cook it at integer overflow° for one millisecond?
@catsalad Because your stove would melt first

@catsalad

Like they say, work smarter, not harder

@catsalad, why cook at all? Thermodynamics says it will eventually get back to room temperature anyway.
@catsalad I did some maths to help this post.
19250° divided by 360° is 53.4.
So 19250° - 53*360° = 170°
Which means you can cook it for just 170° and avoid the rotating the temperature 53 times, saving you more oven cycles in this economy.
@catsalad The math doesn't actually work unless you convert to Kelvin first.
@rev_null @catsalad, or Rankine if you're using a legacy temperature unit and don't want to do the multiplication.
@catsalad it's basic algebra, one can't argue with that
