Could you please specifiy that it's the mass which is the deciding factor in Q8?

Apart from that, lovely quiz!

It wouldn't matter if it were asking about physical dimensions instead of mass. The Cullinan diamond was dug up at 10.1x6.35x5.9 cm, somewhat smaller than an average baby.

No but the explanation says kg so it would make more sense for the question to ask for the mass.

Or the explanation could be switched to physical dimensions instead of mass. The important thing is that the answer is the same no matter how you interpret it, so there's no need for the question to change.

I agree. The quiz is "what's bigger", which implies size not weight nor mass.

I accept the answer is the same, but 3 questions should be clear that they want what is heavier not bigger.

The quiz should be What's heavier based on all the explanations given. Perhaps all the answers are still the same but mass and dimensions are not the same thing ;)

635 kg, Jon Brower Minnoch. Big dude

Worth pointing out that Minnoch was not actually weighed and the 635kg number comes from a doctors estimate that he weighed around 100st at his peak.

Robert Earl Hughes is the heaviest human whose weight was accurately measured, but he was 486kg so the humans still win.

Had nothing to do with gluttony. He had an uncurable disease that made his body store up fluids. Over 400kg of his total weight was just extracellular fluids.

I was absolutely shocked by the gorilla question, I was certain the gorilla must have been larger than the person!

Average gorilla vs average human then the gorilla wins hands down, When humans do outliers though we don't mess around.

Gorillas are huge, but I'm guessing they generally don't get morbidly obese. The same cannot be said for humans.

When you're making estimates about the global population a millenium ago, I don't think 25 years makes all that much difference.
