Description
You can cut a round cake in any order you want. Random access.
A pound cake is only cut in sequence. Sequential access.
Cakes and circuit boards. I just thought it was a funny metaphor.

I never thought round cakes to be more efficient than the alternatives, but now I can't unsee this. 
I suppose a box of chocolates and the round packages with stacked biscuits would also be an example of random vs. sequential access.
Nice work!
