The clever chaps over at Numberphile have come up with the most scientific way to cut up a birthday cake. Maths expert Alex Bellos has discovered an old mathematical paper from the early 20th Century by number whizz Francis Galton that, like all good life hacks, is simple but brilliant! Stop cutting the cake the way you normally do – it goes stale. Use this mathematically-sound way to slice up your cake and keep it fresh for the next slice…
Heh – maybe we’re geeks here, but we love this! It’s ace. Have a look for yourself. Great stuff.
Who knew that geometry could be so interesting, eh?!
