Yeah I know, but it’s terrible waffle design, there’s big flat chunks without syrup squares. It’s a huge amount of wasted area unable to hold syrup in any meaningful volume. It’s sad, really.
Edit: not to mention the waffle in the picture is clearly big enough to hold 25 squares the same size as those pictured! I thought these memes were supposed to be scientific…
You can’t fit 25 squares of the same size in that space. If you check the top row there’s 4 squares and space for slightly less than one more square, you can’t fit a 5x5 grid there unless you have smaller squares or a bigger waffle
Maybe you couldn’t, I absolutely could. The space just looks smaller because there’s a diagonal square butting into it. Doesn’t matter anyway, making the squares smaller was my original comment that sparked this conversation, so I’m right both ways.
No, you’re not. It’s square packing, this is the optimal arrangement of 17 squares inside another square as far as we’re currently aware with a side length of 4.6756 inner squares. You cannot fit 5 squares in the space of 4.7 squares of the same size.
It’s also a well-known meme and this is a science meme community.
