This is amusing but IRL you'd just roll up the extra dough and cut more cookies out of it until you can only get one cookie, then eat the rest of the dough. This is your reward.
- chapium 6y agoThe child in me would just try to make an extra large cookie at the end.
- jccalhoun 6y agoAgreed. minimizing waste is an important goal but this is a bad example.
- Someone 6y agoA real life example of a related problem I know is cutting leather, say to make shoes. There, the shape to be cut is constant, but the surfaces they have to cut from (hide shapes and their defects) are different for each hide. Cutting cigar wrappers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigar#Wrapper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigar#Wrapper) out of tobacco leaves is a similar problem (https://patents.google.com/patent/US4275627 https://patents.google.com/patent/US4275627 has a good description). I once read about software for doing that, but can’t find that.
