    If you look carefully at a tree, you will observe that small branches generally stick out at almost right angles from big ones and big branches stick out at smaller angles from each other. Any idea why?

    Leonardo da Vinci made the following observation regarding trees and their branches: 'All the branches of trees at every stage of their height, united together, are equal to the thickness of their trunk.' This seemingly plausible rule turned out NOT to be confirmed by detailed studies. Can you see that the rule violates the principle of least effort?
