Making salsa from n-dimensional tomatoes
===
I was making salsa the other day and got to thinking about the relationship between how many cuts you make and how many pieces you end up with. It's interesting, right? If I make two cuts through a slice of tomato and the cuts are parallel, I get three pieces but if the cuts are perpendicular, I get four. Same number of cuts different outcome. What's going on? It turns out that it has to do with the dimensionality of tomatoes. 1/x #math #mathstodon
