When Martin (Mr. Orange) had us guess the weight of his huge pumpkin, more than a 100 people guessed. Other growers have done the same. This is a test to see how many people will play the game for uninteresting seeds.

circ: 116", length: 77", width: 73" for an estimated weight of 403 lbs.
It will be weighed on not-really official scales on Sept. 30. Three seeds from the pumpkin for the closest guess and 2 seeds for #2. A Canadian and American grower will also be growing the pumpkin next year. If there are no seeds...I have some other ones.
