>The notion of “concrete mathematics” was meant as an antidote, of sorts, to new trends in “abstract mathematics” (a.k.a. “new math.”)

I thought it was because it was a course covering a combination of discrete and continuous topics?

The real unlock for pancakes is making the batter the night before. Cold batter from the fridge gives you fluffier pancakes than fresh batter, and you don't have to measure anything at 8am.
Doesn't the baking powder makes its bubbles and run out, leaving behind flat batter?
It depends on the other ingredients. If you use buttermilk or seltzer (which you should), then don't let it rest more than 5-10 minutes.
I think people commenting need to qualify what they consider a pancake in their posts. Baking powder is definitely new to me, I'm used to { flour, eggs, milk }. With baking powder you'd get a sort of... flabby dough thing? And... pancakes for breakfast? I'm guessing its something US-specific.

And if it is a US thing, I'll just mention the pancake soup here.

Yeah us US folk love our dessert for breakfast

Do we have to beat Prince at a game of basketball first?
Only if you play blouses.
Disappointingly, the article does not contain a cool household appliance that will dispense infinite pancakes at the touch of a button.
Gotta order their breakfast first though, which luckily is better than their pancakes (imo).
