Rows are superior to spirals, because you can eat up all grains while having to turn the cob only once. The minimal number of turns you have to make when eating in a spiral is the length of the cob divided by the width of your frontal bite. // Full disclosure: I started liking math only after a course of abstract algebra, and I eat corn in rows.
