Nailed it. I can't stand cooked corn, and I suck at math.

#12This is the kind of article that makes me love HN.
While I'm not a mathematician, I was a math major. I always preferred algebra, and sure enough I eat my corn in rows - so one more data point!

For me, it's the opposite. Maybe I actually prefer analysis to algebra, or I'm eating my corn wrong :)

#14I grow my own corn that has just one extra-wide kernel per row, so that eating it in spirals or in rows is the same thing.
Yes, I am a Forth programmer.

#16Sure enough, I prefer algebra and eat in rows. Creepy.

#17Very interesting. Now I am very curious how some famous physicists and mathematicians eat corn.

#18Was the title changed in order to not violate Betteridge's Law[1] or just to be more linkbaity?

I prefer procedural programming, so I should suck at eating corn on the cob?
Compile me confused.

#20I eat in both spirals and in rows. Sometimes sticking with one method all the way through, sometimes alternating along the way. Additionally, sometimes I take great care to cleanly peck each and every kernel out of its socket. Other times I mow through it like a wild animal, bits of corn strewn around my mouth.
I have always loved math, and I always want to dive in deeper, but can never quite figure out exactly what area to jump into...
