Originally only 3 students were in the contest - but there were 4 prizes - so some other students, who were not really fancy about eating pies fast, also joined the contest. Therefore some of the contestants were eating the pie so slowly - indeed one of them wasn't even eating it at all - that one of the professors, John Conway, thought he should add some fun to the game. So 2 minutes after the pie eating competition began, he walked towards the stage, picked up a pie, and just began eating it with bare hands! And he finished the whole pie in 1 min 14 sec, beating all the five contestants. The pies are standard american sizes, so if you could finish one in 1 min 14 sec you should have no problem beating anyone here.<BR/><BR/>By the way, John Conway just recovered from a stroke last year... it's remarkable how energetic he is, isn't it? :pPolamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11453924752347507040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237906900456925233.post-40443851556947707552008-03-27T17:56:00.000+08:002008-03-27T17:56:00.000+08:00> a pie eating contest on 3/14 1:59pmHow many pies...> a pie eating contest on 3/14 1:59pm<BR/><BR/>How many pies the winner ate?
