My questions for the MPGDC:
What is the total volume of MP to be delivered?
Are we scored on steady state rate? Total volume?
Do we have to account for cooking time in our score?

Are there any potential penalties?
11" x 16" x 22" metal box of mashed potatoes that will be held to ground by metal weights.
Mashed Potatoes will be filled to the top.
2 min max length match, however, goal is to eat mashed potatoes in fastest time possible.
All mashed potatoes are pre-cooked.
Person must not come within 3 feet of the box of mashed potatoes, however, apparatus may move freely between mashed potatoes and person.
