How does a Phillips screwdriver work?

If you add up the surface area of the groove of a Philips screw to a similar (similar size) single groove screw you will notice that is is much larger; this means that the screwdriver has more surface area on the screw head and that it is divided over 4 contact points. This allows the Philips screw to be tightened with more torque than a traditional screw before the head shears off.
