Mathematician Derives Formula For Perfect Doughnut. by Agnesgrace(f): 5:39am On Dec 12, 2014 |
If you ever wanted to make the ‘perfect’ doughnut, then this mathematical formula is what you have been waiting for. The secret to the “perfect” doughnut has been mathematically proven – and apparently it’s all to do with the size of the hole. Dr Eugenia Cheng, Senior Lecturer of Pure Mathematics at the University of Sheffield, used calculus to find what gives the confectionery that can’t-resist appeal, reports Telegraph Dubbed the ‘Squidgy to Crispy ratio’, her method proves that the smaller the hole in the middle of the doughnut, the squidgier it is, while a bigger hole will make the doughnut crispier. Dr Cheng, who has previously worked on defining “the perfect cream tea ”, was called upon to find a formula for the perfect doughnut by Domino’s Pizza UK, who launched a new line in freshly baked doughnuts last month. “The hole is integral to the ‘whole’ doughnut experience, so it makes complete sense that it affects the texture and taste,” said Simon Wallis, sales and marketing director at Domino’s. With an average hole size of 11mm, Domino’s doughnuts have a squidgy to crispy ratio of 3.5 : 1 which, in layman’s terms, means they are approximately four fifths squidge and one fifth crisp: which Dominos claims to be the winning formula of doughnut quality. “[The] relatively small hole means that the Domino’s doughnuts are 78 per cent squidge and 22 per cent crisp – definitely squidgier than the average ring doughnut,” said Dr Cheng. “If you’re me, then it’s easy to get carried away messing around with calculus. Go ahead and eat your doughnuts however you like them.” After vigorous research conducted by a unit of testers here at the Telegraph labs, we have concluded that Domino’s doughnuts are indeed quite squidgy.

IKJ66: She was contracted to do a job by Dominos which she did very well and most likely got paid. Now, what is jobless about that? 2 Likes |
