Competitive eating riddle

[Valuist]

I saw a You Tube video featuring Joey Chestnut eating pizza. He faced off against a team of 3 guys, which became 4, 5 and eventually 7 to race to see who could eat a 9 pound slice of pizza faster.

Before the eating started, Chestnut topped the scales at 229 pounds. After eating the 9 pound pizza slice, how much did he weigh?

229 238 ? 239 ? 240 ?

You are way off.

Think about it. Pizza is loaded with sodium. Contestants can wash down the pizza with water.

Did he drink anything with the pizza?

Also how many Carbs was that? His glucose must have spiked dangerously high

 

[MrTop]

mozzarella was low fat

Yes, water was allowed to be drank to wash down the pizza. Don't know the carb total but not low.

Close enough. It was 250. 9 pounds of pizza and 12 pounds of water weight.

Yeah I figured the amount of water those guys have to drink to be able to suck that s*** down I had to be more than double the Pizza.

Cannot be good for your body. And shocked nobody ever choked to death with hot dogs and buns

Back in my Ga Tech days I competed in a pizza eating contest against some 20 other students - hosted by the Pizza Inn. Back then I probably weighed 150 pounds (6'0"). All slices were from large pizzas, cut into 8ths.

I ate 21 slices.
I came in 3rd.

I was sick for two days. No, I didn't throw up - that would've disqualified me.
