BenRG:
Am I the only one who noted the otherworldly nature of Emily and Hannelore's conversation here? Both the problem and the proposed solution are just not something that you would normally expect to see come up in everyday conversation between work colleagues! Is this a college town thing? Or maybe this is just what you get when you put two minds like theirs together on a subject that has lots of technical and mathematical implications!
It's easy to forget just how crippling Hannelore's OCD can be sometimes. Having to ensure you cut your food into equal-sized pieces (because I imagine that she'd be unable to enjoy it otherwise)? Enough to give me a shiver when I think how this might turn mealtimes into a torture for her.
I've just got to add that I am going to spend today looking for a reason to use the phrase 'catastrophic muffin wastage'! :-D
Tova:
Solution: eat mini cupcakes instead.

Is it cold in here?:
Make as many Banach-Tarski copies as the number of bites you need, then crush each one to fit in your mouth. Emily should have thought of this.

When one of my cars came up to 100,000 miles on the 5.1-digit odometer, I drove a couple of times round the block to park it outside my house displaying 00000.0 :roll:

That sounds like something Dirk Gently would have come up with.
