Smallest satsuma segment... ever

Today I found the smallest satsuma segment that I have ever seen. It is possible that the satsuma contained a smaller segment but that it was so small my eye couldn't resolve it. Damn it, if it were that small, I doubt any sane person would call it a 'satsuma segment'. Maybe a tasty bit of satsuma dust or something.

Anyway, to give you an idea of scale, the photo shows the segment next to my left-hand small finger. Unlike Adolf Coredump, I don't have giant fingers the size of sausages so it genuinely is a very small satsuma segment.

I measured the segment and checked in the Guinness Book of World Records and it really is the smallest segment that any human has ever found (and reported). I can't be bothered registering my find with the Guinness World Records authority because they are always pestering me about something and I don't have the patience to deal with them at the moment.
