well actually the saying is if Peter picked a peck of pickled peppers, where is the peck of peppers that Peter picked? A Peck for those not knowing is half a bushell. The answer for Peter's question is are we sure it wasn't Peter that was pickled when he went to the pepper patch? Why would peppers be growing pre-pickled?
Peter Piper didn't pick any pecks of pickled peppers because pickled peppers aren't pickled when they are picked. So Peter Piper picked zero pecks of pickled peppers. However assuming that he was able to pick at least one peck of pickled peppers (it never said he got them from a garden) it would be determined by the formula: (p)(t) where p is the number of pecks of pickled peppers pickable in a period of time (an hour) and t is the time that he spent picking the perfect pickled peppers that peter piper picked. let us, for arguments sake, assume that he picks 2 pecks of pickled peppers in an hour. let us also assume that he spent 5 hours picking his perfect pickled peppers. therefore by these calculations, he pick 10 pecks of pickled peppers but it could vary depending on the skill of peter piper at picking pickled peppers. and so peter piper picked at least 10 pecks of pickled peppers.
The term "peck" doesn't have a specific number attatche to it. It means "a lot" or "many" or "a large number or amount".
