I didn’t know what I was getting into with that click, but now I’ve added bagels to our grocery list so I can do this.
However, I of course have no bagels or bagel accessories on the one day I read about mathematically correct bagels :(
So yeah, added to my grocery list too!
Exercise to the reader: How do you slice the bagel so that you can spread cream cheese continuously along both sides. In other words, can you make a Möbious bagel?
I wonder if it's possible to repeat the process in such a way that you make a chain. I'm trying to visualize how but I'm not certain whether it could only make more links all attached in the same place.
Someone please ask Professor Shewchuk (UC Berkeley) and Professor Demaine (MIT) to look at this! Perfect geometric problem for both of them.
My team at work thinks of every excuse possible to get bagels. Recently for a birthday, a work anniversary, and being restacked into new cubes. But this is the best possible excuse for bringing in bagels again on Monday.
