The Great Terra Tiny Pumpkin Weigh Off

Me on bathroom scale w/ running clothes on : 140.6 lbs
Me on bathroom scale w/ running clothes on plus big pumpkin : 163.2 lbs
Me on bathroom scale w/ running clothes on plus little pumpkin : 155.8 lbs
Dimensions of big pumpkin : 1 ft high by 1 ft wide
Dimensions of little pumpkin : 1 ft high by 9 in wide



Quiz: What's the average weight of the pumpkins?
Extra credit : What's the volume of the big pumpkin?
Extra extra credit: What's the volume of the little pumpkin?

Hint: volume of a sphere = (4/3)*3.14*r*r*r where r is the radius
Hint: the volume is proportional to the weight

That's some serious pumpkin heft, which hopefully translates into serious pumpkin pie!

Congratulations on those fine looking (and weighing) pumpkins! Has Max harvested his yet?

I hear there is a shortage of pumpkins this year, generally speaking, and that pie filling will be costly on the shelves this year. You have some beautious gourds and blooms this year! Nice job! I missed the fun this year, maybe next year will be more fruitful.
