A group of engineering students from Purdue University recorded that their licking machine, modeled after a human tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. They tried the same licking test on 20 volunteers and found that the average licks to the center were 252 licks.

1 Cover the grill and allow the roast to cook for about 1 hour for a medium rare 2-3 lb. roast. 2  The temperature of the grill should be around 400Â° F. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. 3  For medium rare - 145Â°, medium - 160Â°, and well done - 170Â°. 4  Cook for approximately 1 1/2 for medium and 2 hours for well done. Other seasoning can be added if desired. 2  When grill is heat, place the roast over the direct heat and sear each side for 4 to 5 minutes. 3  Once seared, move to an area of indirect heat by leaving one side on medium-high heat and turning off the other side on a gas grill.
