Pretzels - The Mathematical Snack!

I never used to be a fan of pretzels. That has changed, for two reasons. First, because it's a low fat snack, so I can eat it while I'm on my low-fat diet, waiting to have my gallbladder removed (I have a one-pound bag of fat free pretzels...mmm mmm!)

The other reason is that pretzels are a very mathematical snack. I kid you not.

I'll show you, in just a moment, why I say that. When you see what I mean, you're going to roll your eyes and say..."Doug has way too much time on his hands."

Just remember, I'm on vacation right now (sort of) and I'm relaxing after six weeks of camp ministry. If I want to kill some time doing stupid things...

I have a right to be stupid! :D

I think I'm also going to post this as one of the Easter Egg Pages at The Problem Site.

Okay, now are you ready to know why I say that Pretzels are a mathematical snack?



Brace yourself.



Prepare to be astounded and amazed.



Or at least to roll your eyes and shake your head in disgust.
