  Why we don’t make one giant square to hold even more syrup?

  Aren’t Hexagons the bestagon for tiling a plane for most holding capacity while reducing the “walls” than any shape?

    This here is just the best known solution to packing 17 squares specifically

  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.

    For those who didn’t know you can just pour as much syrup as you like, regardless of the square count.

    If you take the original 16 squares and cut them each in half, you can have 32 squares. Doctorate now, please.

      If the squares are half the size, you get 4x the number of squares, assuming you’re measuring side length and not area.

  Great. 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”.

  I don’t think waffle enjoyers want one more square in the same waffle, they want a specific shape and ayruo/butter ratio per square. This waffle bricks that with its thick sections.
