SortStack #2310 — 2032-10-05

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 AAA alkaline battery 11.5 g

   Despite the tiny package, a fresh AAA stores enough energy to hoist an adult human several meters into the air.

3. A liter of water 1 kg

   The kilogram was originally defined in the 1790s as the mass of exactly this much water — the tie was only fully broken in 2019.

4. An adult Chihuahua 1.8 kg

   The world's smallest dog breed is named after a Mexican state and descends from the Techichi, a companion dog of the Toltecs.

5. An adult Dalmatian 25 kg

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

6. An average adult human, averaged across the whole world 62 kg

   Researchers computed this from global census data; North America's average is about 20 kg heavier than Asia's.
