Want to impress people the next time you eat a bagel? How about cutting a bagel in half so that it’s cut into two equal halves which are linked like two links of a chain. You can learn at the mathematics of the cut and how to do it reading the the article How to Slice a Bagel into Two Linked Halves.

Even if you don’t want to impress anyone, learning how to do this will let you put more cream cheese on the bagel because there is slightly more surface area when cut this way. A win in my book!
