not_IOoptimal amount of syrup

Dau (they/them)on one hand, i want a 17-square waffle maker. on the other hand i think i would get brutally murdered by anyone i ever tried to make waffles for
GreenCrunchIf they don’t appreciate the 17-square waffle, they don’t deserve it.
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.
xthexderIf the squares are half the size, you get 4x the number of squares, assuming you’re measuring side length and not area.
Oh hey sorry I didn’t know you went to school for this shit. Fine. you make the waffles.
I will put you to work testing this theory.
Proceed with waffle preparation and delivery, I’ll be waiting, and will provide my own syrup. Please note all waffles are to be gluten-free, as my body hates me and the things I enjoy.
I post this comment quite often, but a number divided by zero is not infinity, so the syrup to waffle ratio would actually be undefined.
Fine, as the quantity of waffle approaches zero, the syrup to waffle ratio approaches infinity.
This tracks because I’m always left with syrup on my plate after finishing the waffle. So I’ve independently verified your hypothesis.
Why even have a waffle at all, let’s drink the syrup!

For those who didn’t know you can just pour as much syrup as you like, regardless of the square count.
Aren’t Hexagons the bestagon for tiling a plane for most holding capacity while reducing the “walls” than any shape?
This was my first thought.
A circle filled with hexagons!
stan_stanminsonWhy we don’t make one giant square to hold even more syrup?
robynBecause 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

ExtremeUnicornThis goes to 17 sqares!
Or - here’s a radical idea -
EAT A SECOND FUCKING WAFFLE
SmuuthbraneGreat. 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”.
enbiousenvyTIL the shape in waffle is to hold syrup.
It holds blueberries very well too!
if the bottom part of the waffle is the inverted shape of the top one, it should fit another waffle. To properly stack them
But it’s not, so you need blueberries to be able to stack waffles reliably.
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.
Doesn’t add up, either. Plus, you still have leap years and seconds.
MinnesotaGoddamyes it does. 13 even months with one extra day for new years
So… It doesn’t add up.
you haven’t looked at the calendar. it works.
You tack the extra time on the end, shifting what day of the week the 1st falls on for the rest of the year. Instead of the end of February, which is just the most random fucking choice that I can only figure was determined because the calendar was set centuries before we had lightbulbs.
apotheotic (she/her)365/13 is 28.07 - what are you doing with the extra day? + leap years too
The last month is 1 day longer (or 2 on a leap year) which resets the sequence. So exactly 4 weeks per month until the end, then new years has a buffer day.
Lol, you’ve got my vote
Found Henry Ford’s account
How about 25?
