Slide 2
Do you suffer from shortened spaghetti? Are you tired of losing
your linguine? Is your fettuccine fragmenting? If you have answered
yes to any of these questions, take notes of the following.
Slide 3
Aim Determine if it is more efficient to snap pasta close to
the middle or on the outer extremities. Hypothesis We hypothesise
that it will be more efficient to snap the fettuccine closer to the
middle, as there is less room for variables in the make-up the
pasta resulting in a cleaner break.
Slide 4
What is meant by the term efficient? We infer the meaning of
efficient in this context to mean where the pasta is snapped as
close to half as possible, with preferably little or no smaller
pieces (generally speaking, smaller pieces are the pieces between
Q1 and the minimum height which are deemed to small to be feasible)
left over. These left overs are the outliers of the set of
data.
Slide 5
Equipment Linguine pasta. Ruler. Tape. Plastic snap-lock bags.
Computers to tabulate sets of data sets.
Slide 6
Method Arrange fettuccine in groups of 10, 20 and 30 strands of
pasta, then tape these groups together into individual bundles.
Snap these groups of pasta at three different points. Close to the
centre, hands on the far extremities of the pasta and finally hands
in the area between the two points previously listed. Once
disjointed, arrange in ascending order and tabulate data.

Conclusion From what we deem to be a fair test, we conclude
that it is more efficient to snap groups of pasta in groups of
approximately 30 and close to the middle, as this 1 2 combination
minimises non feasible bits of pasta and most of the pasta is
snapped in half. Most of the data is grouped between the largest
strand of pasta and Q3, with a gargantuan drop off after this.
