D = h*Λ2 ..................... (1)

Λ-D = √((1-h)λ** ) ....... (2)

Also X = ΛΛ***Λ ........... (3)

If you do the substitutions, it's obvious.

* This one (wherever it appears) should have a plank through it. Strikethrough's too low, and incorrectly aligned. Just imagine.

** This one's a small version of the other one (i.e. Λ that one).

*** This one's an operator (to avoid confusion).

I see your mistake. In step (2), ζ should be raised to the minus seventh power (unless, of course there is an imaginary domain; in that case skips steps (2) through (16).

Because the bottom doesn't need a lid!

Why?

1) They taper the box to cater for the over and under sized potatoes.

2) If they have to make it fit they will have to invest in a pringle sleeve-box puller.

3) Don't worry just eat and enjoy.

The slightly tapered pipe idea was stolen from magicians. (where the feathers are hidden in an empty pipe)
