MIT figures out how to break spaghetti into only 2 pieces
An MIT study has solved the spaghetti challenge, made famous in 1939 by US physicist Richard Feynman, who wondered why the dry noodles couldn't be broken into just two pieces. It was earlier found that spaghetti, on being bent, breaks, while a "snap-back" effect further fractures it. MIT mathematicians found twisting and bending it could break it into just two.
