My answers should be in your inbox @Mi-Amigo.

Some good, challenging questions there... For example, I eat at least 2 chocolate oranges a year - one at Christmas and one around Easter - yet couldn't defiantly tell you know many segments it's in. 🍫
I will find out the answer to this any many others very soon but for now I'll leave you with this gif:
