What this episode covers
Have you ever stood over a rolled-out slab of cookie dough and pondered just how to best cut out cookies with as little waste as possible? Now, even math experts have given up on finding a computer algorithm to answer this type of geometric problem. Jeff and Anthony discuss something that seems simple, but is actually impossible. Then, lab grown meat has existed for a while, but it has been too expensive for public sale. Now, a new company plans to put a kill-free meat on the market. Anthony and Jeff deabte the merits and potential of such a product.
