A few days ago I reported about my kin doing a nose dive. Is measurement still accurate with a shape like this. If it is, it did 29 pounds/day between day 20 and 30.

- Measurement is always accurate as long as you perform it correctly.
- This measurement (no matter what shape the pumpkin is) will never ever tell you the actual weight of the pumpkin, because even if two pumpkins had exactly the same size and shape, wall thickness could vary and one never knows.
- The OTT charts have been developed using OTT vs. weight data of a great number of pumpkins will all kinds of shape (hence, its usefulnes is not limited to pumpkins with a particular shape, even though some shapes might hit the +/- 5% range more often whereas other shapes might produce more outliers.
