User:O'Malley, Joe/Herbert-O'Malley conjecture

The Herbert-O'Malley conjecture (commonly known as Cake Theory) is the hypothesis that cake tastes better when in motion. A corollary to this theory is that cake tastes better when on fire.

Origin
The Herbert-O'Malley conjecture was first developed in 2009 by Matthew Herbert and Joe O'Malley after observing cake in motion.

The corollary derives from the Herbert-O'Malley conjecture and is commonly believed to be the source of the tradition of lighting candles.
