inches = how much?

---

Hi All,

    This question is for those who are good at math .  I have to tell you that when it comes to all this wonderful data on inches per galllon per square ft. stuff I am hoplessly lost.

Just got the Marshfield Fair (Mass.)Pumpkin contest rules in the mail today(Aug. 22 1998).  Last years local winner was 220lbs.   How many inches around does my pumpkin have to be to weigh at least this much?  Now please don't give me another one of those formulas !!!! for example how about 100inches = 150 lbs. ect.        The New England  Giant Pumpkin  Contest  Aug. 23 1998 (note this early date)  Has a first prize of $300.00 with a bonus of $200. for braking Don LAvangies  1996  412 lb. record. " How many inches would that be ?" She asked wincingly.

My pumpkin is currently 27 inches around , how may inches per day would I need to grow to reach the 220 lbs. ??  Sounds like a math quiz I had as a child and YES  ididn't do well.

So please you Math  brains help me oout on this one.
