Something doesn't seem to compute

The Associated Press has the following story:

"ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill. - A patrolman from Wisconsin left his opponents in a cloud of powdered sugar dust by downing 9 1/2 doughnuts in three minutes to win a doughnut-eating contest for police officers in suburban Chicago."

So a group held a doughnut eating contest for police officers to raise money. What is the big deal?

Well, the winner ate 9 1/2 doughnuts in 3 minutes, that seems SLOW or rather a low quantity to win.

Ok, maybe I've watched too many movies or something but it seems like contestants would be able to eat more food or at least be able to eat 10 doughnuts in less then 3 minutes.

Anyway, in a day with more depressing stories, here is a fun one to read.
