Since 2008 the time limit has been 10 minutes. 2. Looking at the number of hot dogs eaten in any year, do you think that the amount of time allocated for this contest was less or more before 2008. Please explain. ! 3. The 1972 contest lasted for 3 " minutes and Jason Schecter managed to consume 14 hot dogs in that time. How does his eating rate per minute compare with Joey Chestnut's 75 dogs in 10 minutes? Please show your figuring. 4. Can you imagine any reasons for this discrepancy in eating rates? Recently, Dr. James Smoliga, a veterinarian and exercise scientist from North Carolina, calculated that the greatest number of hot dogs a person could eat in 10 minutes was 83. 5. What do you guess, using mathematics, that the winners will have eaten this year?

Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest 2015: Prize Money and Purse
Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest 2015: Prize Money and Purse Payout Details Personal Finance Syndication Network - http://pfsyn.com The Fourth of July traditionally calls for watching a baseball game or fireworks with a hot dog in hand (or three). But even if you tend to overeat on all-American dishes on this food-centric holiday, your over- indulgence is probably nothing compared to the food an elite group of athletes will be gorging themselves on — and the money they’ll be earning — competing in Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4. This annual eating competition, staged at Coney Island in New York City, is a bona fide sporting event (participants are even referred to as athletes). It’s a true nationally-televised contest of intestinal fortitude between the world’s bravest and best competitive eaters. On Saturday afternoon, the competitors will race against the clock to down as many hot dogs as they can within 10 minutes and get a chance at a piece of the total $40,000 purse payout. Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest Prize Money Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest is as historic as the company itself. Started in 1916, the 2015 contest marks the 99th time that fans and contestants alike have gathered from across the world (and aspiring contestants) to watch this amazing feat of hot dog consumption; in recent years, according to the Nathan’s Famous website, the event has attracted up to 35,000 spectators. Not just anyone can enter the eating contest, however. Contestants were required to participate in one of 13 qualifying events held from April to June in various cities across the U.S.
