Reply to comment by Tambury in [OC] Pizza eating challenge by a non-professional eater in a local competition by Tambury

8in * 39in = 312 in^(2) of pizza. Converting to a round pizza, that's just about 10in radius (10^(2) * 3.14) = 314 in^(2). So that's one 20 inch diameter pizza in 30 or 40 minutes. How often is the challenge completed? Doesn't seem that impossible.

Keep in mind the $100 was thrown in by the boss on the day who had obviously sized up the competitor and taken a punt that he wouldn't make it.

The owner did say that quite a few people actually complete it, but he has made a lot more money out of people attempting the challenge and failing than free pizza given away.

I've eaten an 18" diameter pizza before. I could 100% do this challenge if I prepared a little bit. And I'm not a competitive eater or anything crazy, just a guy who likes to test how much he can eat sometimes.

Yeah, that seems way too easy. Seems like just one family size pizza
