	Thank you for adding the weights in metric for us Europeans :o) At first, not being a science buff, I didn't think I stood a chance - then I saw that the weights were in order so I looked at the items and put them in order ... only muddled up blue whale and 747 :o) Think that's got to be the best science quiz I've done.

	@ajaxfam well, just grade the objects up from hydrogen atom or down from the sun, it's pretty straightforward! ;)

	For me, it comes down to which is heavier, a whale or a plane?

	Interesting quiz.

	Thank goodness for the metric conversions. My brain does not comprehend weight in pounds.

	I was good at the big stuff by saying, which is bigger, the sun or a baseball hmmm? once I got to the small ones it was no dice my friend

	@ ajax: speak for yourself. I'm a science noob, and I finished with 2:25 left on the clock. It's quite easy with some educated guessing and process of elimination. You only have to type letters. What's taking so long?

	Metric or English units really make no difference. You just have to figure out the order that the items should be placed in terms of mass/weight. There are very few that are even close to each other.

	For most quizzes I try things before giving up. "Can you name the masses of these objects?" "No, no I can't."

	A hummingbird is that light? That's less than three paper clips!

	tyder21:	Aug 5th, 2012 at 05:57 GMT		3 points
	I didn't even really pay attention to the actual numbers being given. I basically just tried ordering them from heaviest to lightest. Hummingbird/golfball was definitely the hardest decision for me.

	peterlekarev:	Aug 5th, 2012 at 11:04 GMT		15 points
	@tyder21 I asked myself: "Would I rather by whacked in the face with a golfball or a hummingbird?" and there was the answer.

	hellofromUK:	Aug 5th, 2012 at 12:05 GMT		10 points
	LOL @peterlekarev, although not sure that logic really holds. I'd rather be whacked in the face by a half-gallon of milk that a golfball!

	for the life of me i counldnt think of what the heck an "antibody" was because it was down to that and the H-atom, so all i had in my head was that antibody was some fancy term for like antimatter or some subatomic particle. then i googled antibody, and boy did i feel like the biggest idiot on the face of the object that has a mass of 5.97x10^24 kg. mind you, i also took the MCAT yesterday so overlooking the simplest definition is especially embarrassing.

	As a, ahem, "person of size" (or "fata**" for the non-PC crowd), I almost said G for human.

	I hate to be "That Guy" but pounds are not a unit of mass, they are a force, if you are going to use the US Customary unit of mass it is a "slug"
