But from the look of it, I'm seeing a 5-by-5 grid reduced to only 17 squares.

Yeah, I think it would be more effective if it actually made sense. Dividing up a square into smaller squares is the most efficient way to achieve maximum syrup coverage. If you want your waffle to be structurally sound, you could go with triangles, but once you start introducing angles (that is, not right angles), the dividing lines start becoming longer than standard orthogonal lines, which means less space for syrup. If what you're after is maximum syrup coverage, though, you'd have a waffle with a berm around the edges and no internal divisions to create a single, vast syrup reservoir.
ReplyDeleteI blame the press releases that often come with research announcements like this. Waffle researchers are under such pressure to produce meaningful results that they will often exaggerate the significance of their experiments far beyond their practical meaning. Then the media gets their hands on those press releases and blows everything out of proportion, leading the average layperson to assume that we are on the verge of a new paradigm in waffles. In reality, it's just business as usual.
