optimal strategy in eating oranges or grapefruits
 

As I go through life, I constantly look for improvement in everything.
There is optimal strategy
in most everything we do. There is optimal strategy in how
mathematicians define "fair games"
but there is a more broad and general theory of "optimal strategies"
that goes far beyond
some narrow definitions of math.

There is optimal strategy in say the eating of oranges or grapefruits.
When I am not in possession
of a sharp knife, I usually peel the orange or grapefruit. But when I
have a serrated knife at hand
I cut the orange and grapefruit into sections and with my teeth bite
off the juicy portions leaving the
rinds and white parts for the trash. The speed, the ease, the clean
and lack of getting messy and
sticky, and the eating of all of the edible parts is best done with a
serrated knife.

The grapefruit spoon loses too much of the edible parts. Takes too
long.

The peeling takes far longer than the serrated knife.
