Kitchen Mathematics

The rules of mathematics are finite or are they? We know if you multiply a number by 2 then the resulting amount is double. Conversely, if you divide a number by 2 then the resulting amount is half of the original amount. AZUR cannot seem to obtain the same results with a practical application of the same rules. For example, we have found if the baking time for a particular dish in the oven is 40 minutes at 250 degrees then baking it for 20 minutes at 500 degrees should yield the same result but twice as fast. It does not! Just an observation.
