Not all buffets are unlimited. But with some knowledge of math and architecture, you could maximise a single trip to the salad bar by creating a tower of food. In this time-lapse, watch our attempt at packing the most fruit and vegetable pieces onto a single dish. Our strategy was inspired by software engineer Shen Hongrui who devised equations, diagrams and online instructions to help hungry cheapskates accomplish the feat.
The key to building a killer tower is in the foundations. Dry and dense toppings provide a stable base, while placing carrot sticks radially along the bowl's rim help stabilise top layers. Small ingredients like chickpeas are useful for filling the inside of the tower after building walls from cucumber slices or pineapple wedges, for example.
