SortStack #1351 — 2030-02-19

By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A single kernel of corn 300 mg

   Each kernel is botanically a complete fruit, and a typical ear carries an even number of rows — most often sixteen.

2. A modern US penny 2.5 g

   Pennies have been mostly zinc since 1982 — only the thin outer coating is actually copper.

3. A standard car tire, without the rim 10 kg

   About a quarter of a tire's mass is not rubber at all — it is steel belts and textile cord hidden inside the carcass.

4. An adult Dalmatian 25 kg

   Dalmatian puppies are born completely white; their famous spots only appear after a few weeks.

5. A giant Pacific octopus 30 kg

   It can squeeze its entire body through any gap larger than its beak — the only hard part it owns.

6. The Antonov An-225 Mriya cargo plane at maximum takeoff weight 640 t

   The heaviest aircraft ever built was destroyed in Ukraine in 2022; 'Mriya' means 'dream' in Ukrainian.
