In this video from Numberphile, Alex Bellos digs up a more than 100-year-old edition of Nature and reads a letter to the editor from Francis Galton detailing Galton method for cutting a Christmas cake though mathematically, birthday cakes and everyday cakes can also be substituted so as to keep it fresh over days. The traditional method of cutting the cake into wedges Galton regards with particular horror, as likely to result in a dry, disap

Bellos describes Galton method as perfect for the mathematical loners who don ;t want to share their cakes. Of course, there also a pretty good mathematical and social ar
