You mean you don't know?

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913)

Peck \Peck\, n. [Perh. akin to pack; or, orig., an indefinite quantity, and fr. peck, v. (below): cf. also F. picotin a peak.] 1. The fourth part of a bushel; a dry measure of eight quarts; as, a peck of wheat. ''A peck of provender.'' --Shak.

2. A great deal; a large or excessive quantity. ''A peck of uncertainties and doubts.'' --Milton.

Would you not agree that it is more than 2?
