Pop Quiz!!!

How many pies can be made out of the Great Pumpkin? Closest answer without going over wins!


Ah, yes. The traditional Thanksgiving pumpkin pie. Things rarely get better than that. Of course, you have to ask yourself if the Great Pumpkin would actually make a good pie. The skin might be a bit hard or chewy.


I'm really not sure how to pick a good pumpkin for pie-making. Never done it. But, I do know that large pumpkins are rarely used, and that they sell (I almost typed "make" here) smaller "Pie Pumpkins" for just such an occasion.

Regardless, everybody knows the legend of the Great Pumpkin. He rises out of the pumpkin patch he deems the most sincere, then flies through the air to deliver toys (or was it candy?) to all the good little boys and girls. The legend, of course, is from the Peanuts comic strip, and the only character to believe in the legend was Linus...but that doesn't stop it from making a good Sametime Status.

So, your task is simple. Submit your guess as to how many pumpkin pies could be made from the Great Pumpkin, and the closest to the actual answer wins.


If he's just a legend, how is there an "actual answer"?


I've done some scientific calculations.


Looked at a graph of pumpkin weights and found one that looked about right?


Exactly! Have at it, and have a good Thanksgiving, everybody!
