Lex Luthor is a genius and criminal mastermind who controls a multi-billion dollar corporate empire. Why would he need to steal 40 cakes? Are they perhaps frosted with Gold Kryptonite icing? Was the flour used to bake them made form solidified red sunlight? Do they perhaps contain a special plutonium extract that can be used to power his battle suit?
I just do not understand his motivation for confectionary larceny as it does not apparently further his goal of the destruction of Superman.
Also, the top row only has 9 cakes, so it looks like he actually only stole 39 cakes. But don't get me wrong, it's still fairly terrible. (The terribility calculation is off by 2.5% from the original estimate put forth by the book.)
