It has 23 pieces of cakeEdit: A snowflake forms in a random order sort of. I have no idea why the shape is six sided in a symmetrical fashion. How does one side of the flake "know" how the other five sides are shaped. And is there a way that this information is somehow transmitted to the other sides? My best guess is that the conditions that form one side (or dendrite) are so close that the other side form in the same pattern.
