Then 5 Rows has 91 Pumkins

Total 455 Pumkins
BUT...She it says she had 9 ROWS
So Here are the remaining rows but with only 1 pumkin in it

So 455 plus 4 EQUALS 459

I'll look at it again to see if I can come up with another logic but thats what I have so far....
Gosh I never would have thought of that, but that would be perfect logic for a trick question
