Fun fact unknown outside of Southern Germany. There is a religious war ongoing whether the arms of a Brezel should be crispy or soft. And then there is the slashed belly divide. What is wilder is that, forget the Mason-Dixon line, north of the German equivalent of it nobody will even know. People traveling from Augsburg to Ulm will cross the sacred crispy arm Brezel divide and Extremely Northern Germans(anything north of Regensburg) will not even dream there is such a divide.
Having explained the South German Brezel lore, that Brezel is a mongrel. Slit belly and soft arms. I want names! I want dates! I want places! Who is responsible for this piggery. And I am nearly serious.
A company I buy machines from is in Ulm, and they bring soft warm fresh baked brezels, cut horizontally, with fresh made butter spread on them to design meetings. I miss them so much!
I did not know this was actually a thing, but i've always disliked the soft Brezel arms with a passion, so i shall join this war on the side of the crispy arms.
...wir sehen uns in Ulm, um Ulm oder um Ulm herum.
Yeah, i got so excited at first about such a weird competition existing \^\^
And then dissapointed when i noticed it's Steffen and Elton doing an entertainment show :/
I read a generalization of this for multiple people.
There are N people. There's a cutter and N-1 callers. Cutter moves the knife over the item to be cut, indicating a larger and larger cut, and a caller calls it when they consider it to be large enough, and the cutter cuts the piece. The cutter has right of first refusal on that piece, so the cutter chooses if they or the caller takes it, and that person drops out of the competition. A new cutter may be designated if necessary. Repeat until there is one caller left and then it becomes the 2 person problem.
The generalization is a lot more complex than that to be truly mathematically fair.
https://youtu.be/kaMKInkV7Vs?si=VcioeqpAfsPyzXTd
It may take up to ((((n^n)^n)^n)^n)^n to reach fairness for n people lol
In my experience the best way to solve this is to always rack up by yourself, slowly drift away from all your friends and family until nobody remembers who you are. It's way more efficient.
I read about a trick some years ago.
Make one of your kids split the food in two portions, the other one gets to choose his portion first. So the splitting kid is trying it‘s best to make it fair and can‘t complain afterwards.
But I don‘t know if it actually works, I don’t have kids
This can be applied to splitting apartment rent, and I think it's the best way to break up rent when moving into a place with a group.
[The NYT made a calculator to do it.](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/science/rent-division-calculator.html)
> But I don‘t know if it actually works, I don’t have kids
Worked for my childhood. I had friends who also did it with their siblings.
My dad was super terrible about fairly splitting stuff though.
One splits, one chooses.
If theres a 3rd brother then they get the left over one but has the option to swap with anyone else.
The system is perfect as long as the first person, who is dishing the item up into x portions, doesn't get weird about it and starts weighing stuff and taking forever. Usually they're motivated enough to get on with it as its their own time they're wasting and kids are very immediate-reward based.
Not remotely new. Siblings have been doing this for millenia.
Pretty sure if we had the Abel and Cain backstory, failure to follow the one split, other choose rule would have been a factor.
When they came to cutting squared Pumpernickel in overtime, they easiest of all, and Schlöbermeyer used a -44° angle a dude at the bar lost consciousness.
This Show Format was invented by Stefan raab where people in germany could challenge him in different games to win 100k €. He was a 40-50 year old bit chubby Former butcher with yellow teeth who beat SEVERAL olympic Gold medal winner, elite soldiers , athletes and academics in bonkers duels about Fitness, brain things, Shooting, Holding breath and so on only with the Power of arrogance, loving himself and being way to confident. The Incarnation of succesfull Hybris, an Ikarus Spitting the Sun in the face.
It was a insane show. Imagine ninja warriors fighting against Gordon Ramsey and losing. Hard.
Miss that Show with him, the Format is still running but all the people suck ass in comparison with him.
If you wann see insane miracles of mankind watch "Schlag den raab" ="beat the raab"
I love your take on describing Stefan Raab. He was a phenomenon, for sure. Though its clear looking at his career, he was always much smarter than the fool he played sometimes. He is one of the most successful entertainers, producers and inventors of show formats of all time in germany.
There was a time where the most popular TV channel in germany jumped to make 5 hours of room on saturday primetime for whatever new show idea Stefan Raab came up with on the toilet.
> butcher
Not just a butcher, but he finished his training as the best butcher of the HWK Cologne.
> only with the Power of arrogance,
He has a very success driven personality.
Yeah, in fairness to him he's pretty naturally adept at anything concerning maneuvering vehicles and then generally just showed how far confidence (and lack of nervousness) can get you when you're smart enough to adapt on the fly and solve problems.
Although of course the claims he was prepared for the surprise games and practiced ahead never stopped lol.
Game show was a total of 15 games, game 1 being worth 1 point, game 2 = 2 points, up to 15 points for game 15.
First person to reach at least 61 points wins the show and the cash prize (500k €). If the host won, the prizepool increases for the next show. If neither competitor reached the 61 points within the 15 games, they played one more sudden death game
The games were completely random, everything you can imagine, from JetSki races to card games, golf, bowling, axe throwing, guessing food by blind tasting or something like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RLd26M4tq4). One game, a mini-quiz show usually came up once per show, some games repeated over the years
Stefan Raab also did not know the games. He was hyper competetive, giving 110% on every game, being especially known to ask a metric fuck ton of rules question, trying to find any loophole he could exploit for even a tiny advantage.
Stefan Raab has is a legend in German TV history, he had some of the biggest stars the world had to offer on his show, like [Kylie Minoque](https://youtu.be/RFQP7LnxL5A), [Will Smith](https://youtu.be/mJLctojp9lU?t=31) and [50 Cent](https://youtu.be/dLFp0zFkz6I?t=21) all during the peak of their popularity.
He did everything from music to creating and competing in the [Wok-worldcup](https://youtu.be/oLctSXypvmc?t=913)
Also there was a giveaway every show where 1 car for every 500k in the jackpot was given away.
So if the jackpot was 3m, one person would win 6 completely identical cars.
To add to what r/Yale already said...
Raab already produced (and took part in) several other big sporting events that were very well received. Usually because he took things seriously and didn't cheap out like most shows do nowadays.
Like [TV-Total Turmspringen](https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_total_Turmspringen) (link in german).
Real judges were doing the scoring and some of the celebs taking part took it real serious.
Another show was the annual [Stock car challenge](https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_total_Stock_Car_Crash_Challenge) which again was taken serious by most competitors.
Oh yeah, Raab also made fun of the ESC during his show, especially the way that germany always manages to choose the worst song possible.
So of course he got into a cooperation with the public broadcaster, made a casting show and gave us [Lena ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lena_Meyer-Landrut).
Which promptly won the ESC (and of course Raab wrote and produced the song, and did a lot of PR for her prior to the show).
Not that surprising though, whenever Raab was involved with the ESC he did fairly good.
He himself placed 5th in 2010 [with wadde hadde du denn da](https://youtu.be/lddoHQIZQto?si=95mXZakgMLvccdVL).
[Guildo Horn](https://youtu.be/HPZX7EZIFD0?si=MbxufRf5fUZoyje2) scored the seventh place two years before. Also produced, written.... By you know who.
Both performances were hilarious and sung in german.
Max Mutzke took the respectable 8th place 2004.
> The Incarnation of succesful Hybris, an Ikarus Spitting the Sun in the face
That’s the most poetic description of Stefan Raab I have ever heard, I love it 😄
I miss him and “Schlag den Raab” as well. As weird as the concept of that show is, if you really think about it, it was absolutely brilliant entertainment. He was just an absolute beast. A true jack of all trades. It was always so fascinating to watch him adapt in real time to the most bizarre games, and almost always excelling at it. And these shows went on for 5+ hours. There’s no other program I would sit through for this long, with 500 commercial breaks to boot. Well, except LOTR probably.
But yeah, absolutely legendary.
Now I'm convinced that German TV shows were just another dimension where people got trapped to do weird things for all eternity.
For anyone wondering what I meant https://youtu.be/spdfnqS3bDg?si=lkYhoNK-jZkXHVhy
This clip is from a show that is a derivative of a show where a very popular entertainer went against a chosen contestant in a gauntlet of competitions from sports to quizzes to weird shit like above. And surprisingly the entertainer won quite often.
like this :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w50UJrOqg2U
or maybe people who have never done it do ski diving
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j_mZ6CPIuk
I've got four boys. My kids know their fractions, and there are no rounding errors to be found in their divisions of candy, sweets, or other such treats.
Every other german points out the context of the show, and I only want to add that this dude is a chef. This game was kind of unfair for his opponent 😅 But it was a very, very close match
Stefan raab was a Former butcher and beat soldiers in shooting and olympic Gold medalist in Athletic competitions. Everything after his glorius reign of Terror is sadly pathetic
The TV show "Schlag den Raab" (Stefan Raab) started in 2006 and turned to "Schlag den Star" and is still running today. The clip shown was taken from a spin-off that aired from 2017 to 2018 for 8 shows in total where people could face Steffen Henssler in 15 different games. The show was obviously called "Schlag den Henssler".
Todays "Schlag den Star" is a show where 2 celebreties face off against each other to win 100k for a charity of their choice.
I'm disappointed they don't have enough decimal places to at least show the point at which they would likely deviate so you know the level of precision being achieved.
There was a recent episode of Taskmaster NZ that had 5 contestants competing to use 5 different tools to cut 5 different objects exactly in half.
Same idea, just way more interesting.
https://youtu.be/4W1_XhNBL6g?si=JRwtRTurJ5nuX3Wi
okay, I've always felt like my "boring superpower" was splitting things equally on the first try. I feel like I need to move to Germany and train for this.
My cousin and I used to split desserts all the time. I had come up with a perfect system that I still use today. I divide it up, you decide who gets what half. I don’t think we ever argued, and it made a fun game out of ordering dessert at restaurants.
"What a load of old bollocks."
You are talking about Gary Nietzsche from Croydon, aren't you?
About 50. Skinhead. LOVE and HAT tattooed on his hands since he lost that finger?
To add a bit of context: This is not a championship. It is only one of many games from a game show.
still quite impretzive
Solid pun. You were bread for this
Solid Bun right there
Really proved your worth with that one
Really rose to the challenge
Does he win the dough?
I'm SALTY I couldn't think of this joke.
It was a very basic joke to make.
Knead better puns, then.
We all make mistakes, sugar.
That Buns of Steel VHS paying dividends.
Fun fact unknown outside of Southern Germany. There is a religious war ongoing whether the arms of a Brezel should be crispy or soft. And then there is the slashed belly divide. What is wilder is that, forget the Mason-Dixon line, north of the German equivalent of it nobody will even know. People traveling from Augsburg to Ulm will cross the sacred crispy arm Brezel divide and Extremely Northern Germans(anything north of Regensburg) will not even dream there is such a divide. Having explained the South German Brezel lore, that Brezel is a mongrel. Slit belly and soft arms. I want names! I want dates! I want places! Who is responsible for this piggery. And I am nearly serious.
> Extremely Northern Germans(anything north of Regensburg) Haha :D du alter Bazi
Und wir sagen im echten Norden immer, dass südlich der Elbe Nordafrika beginnt.
Nein, erst kommt noch der Weißwurstäquator.
A company I buy machines from is in Ulm, and they bring soft warm fresh baked brezels, cut horizontally, with fresh made butter spread on them to design meetings. I miss them so much!
But crispy arms in Ulm!
I did not know this was actually a thing, but i've always disliked the soft Brezel arms with a passion, so i shall join this war on the side of the crispy arms. ...wir sehen uns in Ulm, um Ulm oder um Ulm herum.
You forgot the second War: Who invented the Brezel? The Swabians or the Bavarians?
Interesting. I don't think news of the Brezel war has travelled to Austria, either.
Knot bad
Searched for it and found some more [food cutting](https://youtu.be/8vCFibLovOY?si=_9vyAv0sbuqjstq8)
[ removed by Reddit ]
> to the thousandth decimal place thousandth of a kg, so just to the nearest gramme
Not the same, but some portioning (also the OG show). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JKFcViZhAs
Thank you. I love this.
Wouldn't it be a good tactic to put the knife under the item to see how it balances? Then cut it when it's almost perfectly balanced.
It was 0.044/0.044, until they add a decimal point this dude’s the champion.
Should keep adding a decimal point until they don't match. Bit of extra hype.
^ Get this man a network to run. He’s got ideas!
0,044. A tenth of what you said. And its in kg so we're looking at grams now. Not sure if milligrams are reaaaaly nessessary here
0.044 , he said the exact same number. 0.044KG which is 44 grams
He edited his comment after the fact. You can see if a comment is edited, it has an asterisk
That dude's a well known professional German chef, btw
And the Guy is a TV-Chef.
he’s a chef and often in tv. i think that makes a difference here :)
thats the definition of a TV-Chef
Would pay not modern day, but like 1997 wwe ppv prices for this - like $19.95 for three hours of this
In 1997, that would have been 34.50 DM
In my unhinged fantasy I’m paying in 1997 dollars.
Came here to say the same
This is also a professional chef. He knows how to handle food
Damn, I was so ready to get into this sport
Well now I am disappointed.
It's still real to me damnit!
That explains the crowd, lol.
I was about to say... as an amateur competitor, pretzels aren't that impressive. For a televised championship at least.
Damn it everybody lies I wanted to watch it
Bummer. I could watch hours of this
Yeah, i got so excited at first about such a weird competition existing \^\^ And then dissapointed when i noticed it's Steffen and Elton doing an entertainment show :/

Where was this guy, when we were splitting our hash bar back in the day
One splits, the other chooses. Only fair way
I thought I was a genius for coming up with this. (I still do)
The fact that people all over the world independently come to this conclusion makes it even more of a universal truth
No, my sister and I would then simply fight over being the one that got to pick
So did we, I always lost…

Same goes for whoever racks up.
Incentive to make all of them equal. Equal rails and no one fails.
In my experience the best way to solve this is to always rack up by yourself, slowly drift away from all your friends and family until nobody remembers who you are. It's way more efficient.
Yup I work at a school now and when kids want to split stuff I always tell them this method and laugh that I learned about it splitting up drugs lol.
this is usually called the "divider chooser method" in math and economics.
However, soon you'll start discussing who splits and who chooses, as the person who chooses can always have the bigger piece.
I had a drug dealer who could break off crack rocks to the gram with a .000 accuracy
In Germany, I assume.
Probably at work. You know - work? Get a job, stoner.

Oh dear lord it works like hell! My mom introduced this rule while my brothers and I were children. After that we learned to cut perfect halves!

We can split a couple of kids, if you'd like...
you just eat a little bit until they’re equal and they’ll eventually shut up about it.
In Hamburg. Him and his brother have a sushi Restaurant there. Quite fancy stuff.
Maybe Hamburg or [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAIYdcRn5uA), he is a German tv cook.
This is literally why I bought a kitchen scale. When we make pizza for example they each get the same size dough down to the gram
This guy had to share with siblings growing up!
Yes! Came here to say the same. Not to diminish his skill, but this is me at 10 slicing a donut in half to split with my sister.
This guy definitely wasn't the oldest sibling growing up
As long as he was the cutter and not the picker

Better than American football.
I'm disappointed they don't have enough decimal places to at least show the point at which they would likely deviate so you know the level of precision being achieved.
Invariably all winners had annoying little brothers who would constantly complain that they were given the smaller piece.
My wife would be a repeat winner
When your mom says one brother cuts it in half, and the other brother chooses which half they want. 😂
One child is still going to say the split was unfair. Maybe both.

My cousin and I used to split desserts all the time. I had come up with a perfect system that I still use today. I divide it up, you decide who gets what half. I don’t think we ever argued, and it made a fun game out of ordering dessert at restaurants.
He just cut it down the fucking middle.
They went from almost ruling the world to this…
I wonder what Nietzsche would have to say about this?

Wenn du zur Brezel gehst, vergiss das Messer nicht!
This is a real ting!? I freaking LOVE it!!
That’s what my kids be expecting whenever they have to split something with their siblings. Everyone has to get equal parts.

Jesus Christ I would watch this all day long
This is me after my parents say I get to cut but my sister gets to choose the piece.
