SortStack #3451 — 2035-11-20

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. An adult male wild boar 90 kg

   Wild boars are thriving so well they have spread or been introduced to every continent except Antarctica.

4. A Harley-Davidson Road King motorcycle 365 kg

   Harley once tried to trademark its V-twin engine's 'potato-potato' exhaust rumble, then dropped the case in 2000.

5. The Statue of Liberty 204 t

   Her copper skin is only about as thick as two pennies; the green color is a patina that took roughly 30 years to develop.

6. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, fully fueled on the launch pad 549 t

   More than 95% of that is propellant; the reusable first-stage booster lands weighing almost nothing by comparison.
