SortStack #350 — 2027-05-25

By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A western honeybee worker 100 mg

   To make one jar of honey, a hive's bees collectively fly a distance equal to about three orbits of the Earth.

2. A regulation golf ball 46 g

   The dimples — usually 300 to 500 of them — cut drag so effectively that a smooth ball would fly only about half as far.

3. A large cast-iron skillet 2.5 kg

   Well-seasoned cast iron is essentially a natural nonstick polymer baked onto metal; some American pans have been in daily use since the 1800s.

4. The FIFA World Cup Trophy 6.2 kg

   Winners only keep a gold-plated replica; the 18-karat original stays with FIFA and gets each champion engraved on its base.

5. The Motherland Calls statue in Volgograd, Russia 8K t

   Twice the height of the Statue of Liberty, sword included, she is not anchored to her base — held in place by gravity alone.

6. The Eiffel Tower 10.1K t

   The iron grows in summer: heat expands the sun-facing side, leaning the top away from the sun and adding around 15 cm of height.
