chocolate oranges
Every year around this time, I open up a chocolate orange and begin to wonder the same thing. As I remove wedges of the chocolate treat, is there any point at which the surface area of the partially-eaten chocolate orange is greater than the surface area of the intact orange? In other words, given a piece of foil that just covers the full orange (with no foil left over), will removing wedges render the foil insufficient to cover the remaining orange?
