Exercise to the reader: How do you slice the bagel so that you can spread cream cheese continuously along both sides. In other words, can you make a Möbious bagel?
- jcoffland 9y agoLeave it uncut. It already has a continuous surface.

- ihaveajob 9y agoI should document this and make it my first HN post.
- dumbfounder 9y agoDon't you have a job?
- optimuspaul 9y agoThis may have been the best comment I have read in days.

- ihaveajob 9y agoI used to ;D
- sp332 9y agoYeah, I think you can just make a half-twist instead of a full twist like the article does. Or any number of full turns + 1/2.
- wlesieutre 9y agoMake a cut through it shaped like a mobius strip - that is, a single 180 degree rotation instead of going the whole 360 degrees shown here. To think about it another way, imagine if you took a mobius strip and constructed a semicircular lump of bread on the surface, extending it around until it connects back to itself. You've made a bagel! Now take the mobius strip out of the middle, and the gap it leaves is the cut you're asking to make.
- jnordwick 9y agoSounds like a job for some parchment and my weekend. I wonder if I could sell bagel-sized silicone mobius strips for baking.
- wlesieutre 9y agoPotentially interesting to anyone with an oven, if you can capture 1% of that market you'll be rich! I'd suggest raising a few million in seed funding and renting an office in downtown SF. If it doesn't pan out you can pivot into math-related silicone ice cube trays.
- jnordwick 9y agoThe ICO is Monday. First 10,000 have an ERC20 address printed on the mold.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoI definitely saw a Mobious bagel on Youtube, perhaps about 5 years ago - my attempt to copy it failed, my bagel was too soft.
- epistasis 9y agoHaven't attempted or vetted yet, but perhaps this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NRvK_07KRV8 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NRvK_07KRV8
