My Dad once ate two bars of dark cooking chocolate. He said he got some odd visual distortions; flickering auras around things, and size distortions where small things looked big and big things looked small. I understand that chocolate does contain chemicals which are actually moderately toxic. (It just doesn't contain very much of them - or at least, the normal *milk* chocolate doesn't. Dark chocolate would presumably contain more of these.) For what it's worth, 80% of my diet is cheese, and 10% is chocolate. Apparently that particular combination is supposed to have all sorts of dire effects (including severe headaches). I suffer no such symptoms that I'm aware of. Never have. (But then, people tell me they get a "lift" from caffine, and I find no such effect. Nor do I have severe withdrawal symptoms when I stop taking it.) Maybe I'm just weird? (Oh, wait...

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Health effects
G'day all. Quoting Adrian Neumann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I often wonder how many cuts you need to divide a steak in n pieces. One, if the cut is allowed to be curved and self-intersecting. I think that the spirit of the problem, though is encapsulated in this question: Given a circle, what is the maximum number of pieces that you can divide it into by performing n straight cuts? This is a great problem to set undergraduates, because if you work out some small values of n on paper, you get: n #pieces 0 1 1 2 2 4 3 7 Most undergrads will stall at this point trying to work out how to place the third line to get 8 pieces, and probably come up with an incorrect justification for why it should be 2^n. The details are here: http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A000124 Cheers, Andrew Bromage ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] Health effects
I often wonder how many cuts you need to divide a steak in n pieces. You can obviously get n pieces with (sqrt n) cuts by cutting a grid. But I'm sure some smart mathematician thought of a (log n) way.
