As summer arrives, the fact that hot dogs come in packs of ten but hot-dog buns only come in packs of eight once again existentially unbalances the barbecue season.<\/p>\n

The mathematically optimal solution of buying four hot-dog packs (of ten hot dogs each) and five hot-dog-bun packs (of eight hot-dog buns each), to total forty hot dogs and forty buns, does not adequately solve the problem, as having forty hot dogs and forty hot-dog buns is undesirable for most households (or single people in need of hot dogs).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Below are some proposed methods for preparing exactly one pack of hot dogs and one pack of hot-dog buns without any leftover hot dogs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Thinly slice all hot dogs lengthwise, lay hot-dog buns sideways, separating the tops and bottoms, then distribute slices evenly across eight sandwiches.<\/p>\n

Tightly crush each bun into a ball, then roll out into a thin, flattened disk. Roughly chop all hot dogs and distribute evenly across eight disks. Eat folded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Blend all hot dogs and hot-dog buns together until very, very smooth. Pour into glasses and drink.<\/p>\n

Slice each hot dog into four equal pieces (totalling forty pieces of hot dog) and each hot-dog bun into five equal pieces (totalling forty pieces of hot-dog bun). Place each hot-dog segment into each hot-dog-bun segment and serve as hors d\u2019\u0153uvres.<\/p>\n

Tear each hot-dog bun into pieces, roll each hot-dog-bun piece into a small ball, then flatten each ball into a disk. Grind all hot dogs into a rough paste, place a small scoop of hot-dog paste in the center of each bun disk, then seal all bun disks into pouches and serve.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Finely mince all hot-dog buns, then tightly roll minced buns around the hot dogs. Slice each roll into six bite-sized pieces and serve.<\/p>\n

Soak buns in water until they fall apart, creating a wet, porridge-like consistency. Finely dice all hot dogs into cubes and stir in gently. Ladle mixture into bowls and serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Make eight regular hot dogs (placing eight hot dogs into eight hot-dog buns), then puree the remaining two hot dogs into a thick paste and squeeze on top of each hot dog as a condiment.<\/p>\n

Tightly roll all hot-dog buns into a large ball and flatten into one large disk. Then slice hot dogs into thin rounds and top large bun disk evenly with hot-dog rounds. Slice into triangles to serve.<\/p>\n

Puree all hot dogs, then whisk rapidly into a light, airy cream. Separate bun halves and slice off rounded bun tops and bun edges so that they form identical rectangular layers, then stack bun layers with hot-dog cream between each layer as desired. Spread hot-dog cream smoothly across top layer, then garnish each stack with a maraschino cherry. (Nota bene: this recipe requires maraschino cherries.) Serve as dessert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Invent a device that uses a quantum wave form to shrink physical matter down to a minuscule size by reducing the space between its atoms, then use said device to shrink the ten hot dogs and eight hot-dog buns until they are small enough to fit together on a single spoon, such that the difference in the number of hot dogs and the number of hot-dog buns becomes negligible. Eat in one bite.<\/p>\n

Puree all ten hot dogs into a thick paste and re-form into eight slightly larger hot-dog-shaped logs, bake until set, then place the eight new hot dogs into the eight hot-dog buns and serve.<\/p>\n
