Pin-point accuracy needed…

Length: < 1 min

There are a few types of recipes that need a good level of precision; baking & some ferments spring to mind. For the rest? Naaah, not so much.

The scientist over at XKCD is over-thinking things here: “It says to cut the onions into 1/4″ slices, but I’d better correct for length contraction.”

Black & red equations covering what should be a very simple recipe taking only 35 minutes but it's been complicated because this man is a scientist and overthinks the details so his cooking time is 105 minutes!
