Math in action: desert cup layout. Goal is to fit as many round desert cups on a tray as possible. I got to do this problem while working food service.
Previous person had made a 3x3
grid, 9 total, with the cups were next to each other. It was very inefficient. By staggering the cups, I was able to do 4 rows
of 4, nearly double the capacity. According to the guy in charge I was the
first one to think of that. That's both a personal ego boost and kind
of depressing since it's so obvious.
