Yep, I winced as he held the apple in his palm and pushed the knife into the apple. According to a news report on the radio a few years ago, slicing bagels is the number one reason for emergency room visits.

Glad I could show this video to the nurses at the ER. They didn't believe it wasn't a bagel.

Oh, yeah. That's why I gave the source the way I did. Pop science. The actual answer in in Table 10. of this pdf . Stomach pains for the win.

Anyone who can't solve this puzzle should probably have their apple in sauce form so as not to choke.

If they ever make that live-action Professor Layton movie, this had better be an adorable scene in it.
