10 minutes, 48 seconds
Even now, there were no signs of weakness. While ten minutes might be an exceptional length of time for any normal pony, they had the strength of the universe behind their corneas and they weren’t going to give up the food without a fight.
Celestia was apparently unamused at the prospect, fearing no signs of a promising win from her sister. Speaking of, Luna was tapping a hoof and bobbing her head, carefully minding not to get too entranced into the unknown song playing in her ears.
Both didn’t leave the other’s eyes for a moment, except for maybe a quick glance at the muffin.
Despite the appearance of a boring atmosphere, the sheer intensity of the silent duel is what kept the audience enthralled and consequentially glued to their seats. When words were spoken, they were either hushed or extremely quiet. Even the betting table, though extremely active and robust, was eerily silent minus the clacking of pens.
“So, Luna,” Celestia broke the tension, “how are you doing?”
“Fine,” she answered, even with the headphones blocking her ears. Most suspected she could read lips, which was by all means a fair assumption. “How goes the friendship lessons with Twilight Sparkle?”
“She’s learning much. I’m very proud of my student.”
That was it; they went back to their previous stances. The common observer could only just now see a small strain of red coursing through their eyes.
inb4 letter to celestia disturbing her concentration...
Oh, this will be HILARIOUS!

That would be both disappointing and hilarious.
My guess is that Derpy will fly in and get the last one no matter who wins.

Since that guess was already taken, a new one!
It turns out Pinkie Pie has been there the whole time, and she wins.
619137 Or maybe Celestia IS Pinkie Pie
Interesting....
All i have to say is MUFFIN
blink! blink! blink!!
great idea you got here bro!
Need... more...
And my guess is that they will blink at the same time, and a civil war will be started over the muffin, the country divided by support for the two princesses. It will be epic.

no!
Next small chapters!
Oh lawdy
mmm yes yes yes indeed....
Maybe Celestia sent an unblinking hologram!
That'd explain the slightly random "Nopony within 50 feet rule."!
Who wants to bet after things are all said and done, that the winner bites into the muffin ... and it's stale!
they should half it
What if, at the end, the winner was shocked to see that somepony had snuck in and taken the muffin while they were busy?
I'm scared now.. what would derpy think of this? for a muffin so heavenly, i think she could do this for years.

DERPY HOOVES IS THE MUFFIN QUEEN.
Of course they are able to just chat with one another while in an intense contest. *holds up Luna # 1 flag*
