Fine and dandy, given an ideal watermelon. what if its asymmetrical, or the rind is thicker on one side? Who is the lucky one who gets the slice with the worm?

The biologists have their carefully tended mouse and fruit fly lines for various purposes; perhaps there's a market for consistent Math Melons to use here.

That’s why there are cubic water melons.

As an added advantage that prevents arguments about who got the better piece “cube melons must be harvested before they are ripe, rendering them inedible” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_watermelon)
