Bestagon cookies!

ONE. That's how many cookies fit on that tray.
If you're feeling generous you could break off some sections of your one cookie for your friends.
What part would you share? The crispy outer edge, or soft chewy center?
Someone hexed those cookies
The toppings are also cursed.
Columnar basalt cookies
Replace em with bears and you'll get many hexbears

I need soft circular bears in my life
It's what all of us really are at hexbear: circle bears. We only developed the hexagonal shape from pushing against each other over time - the result of countless struggle sessions. But at heart, even now we're still just sweet, circular bears once you look beneath the hard hexagonal edges wrought by all the outdoor cats and stacked rocks.
This only happened because they laid them in rows of 5-4-5-4.
Yeah, it happens when you pack the circles as densely as possible. If you place them in a grid, they will expand to a grid.
I think that depends on the fiction between each item / cell, and the plane.
I think soap bubbles for example will always form hexagons.
Bubbles can move freely once created, so they have more freedom than cookies that are stick in place. Thus, bubbles will look for optimal volume to boundary ratio with less constraints
Thats what i said?
I wonder what the optimal packing of 17 hexagons looks like
I just woke up with my phone on this. My assumption is that remembering that optimal packing thing just caused me to pass out, presumably to protect myself.
Should the target area be square or should it also be a hexagon?
LOL you can see how the back is darker and has this curve. Oven not heating as it should
I don't think I've ever seen any household grade ovens really provide even heat, maybe if you use them with the rotating fan thing, but certainly not in standard mode. You need to spend the big bucks on professional kitchen grade stuff for that.
That pan can fit 21 cookies
It can clearly fit 2⁵ hexagonal cookies!
