And best of luck getting on the ArenaNet team, Peach.

Jesus Christ! haermm

Ok, so I was a liiiittle bit off.

The guy disagreed. He says 'total estimated is around 6400 kg of mass realistically. 7000 kg being maximum possible at those sizes.'

Neph's maths are weak. : p

edit: lul 7000 kg? 😖

Picture of a 100 ton boulder.

Its not me, its this guy I'm debating! He is pretty slow though hehe. 😄

But my math skills are pretty bad. :C

I know the 7000 kg figure wasn't from you.

I have a message:

They are stupid. Don't judge me on the basis of Star Wars debates.

Tell them that the Statue of Liberty weighs 225 tons and it is considerably larger in comparison to these stones.

Also, show them the link of the statues that I posted here and used for reference. Don't just give them half-baked sources.

Those calculations are way off charts. Those guys suck in mass lessons. Looks can be deceiving.

The total weight of Statue of Liberty is at 225 tons (without concrete foundation) and it is considerably bigger then all of those stones combined which Dooku lifted.

These are the stones:

Count Dooku lifted 6 large stones and 4 small stones in total.

Naw look at this comparable example:

http://www.stonecarving7th.com/garden/statue_10.html

Each statue is 7 feet tall and weighs 800 kg. These are comparable in size to those large stones lifted by Count Dooku. The smaller stones would be much lighter; around 300 - 400 kg.

Total estimated weight lifted by Count Dooku is around 6400 kg of mass realistically. 7000 kg being maximum possible at those sizes.

🙄

Sorry to rope you guys into this. I just can't math worth shit.

Tell him that there are different kinds of stone, and they don't all have the same weight.

And that the statue of liberty is a, and I quote;

"a hollow colossus composed of thinly pounded copper sheets over a steel framework"

And the picture of the 100 ton boulder, show him.

Thanks. I'm really sorry to drag you guys into this.

Thoughts?

What about free speech, freedom and all the other cool stuff?

He's absolutely right about one thing, looks can be deceiving.

Hence why a 20 foot version of the same rock in the last link I showed, would weigh slightly more than the 150 foot tall lady with a torch.

Well that stuff is in the old Bill of Rights. Dunno if they're supposed to carry over or not.

Oh, thats cool then.

Well how can I get a reasonable estimation of weight then?

15 foot tall boulder weighs 100 tons, right?

Now here is a comparison:-

Look at this Obilisk:

This one is 68 feet tall and weighs 120 tons. It is gigantic in mass.

Now you get my point?

that's cool and all but in a free society you have the ability to succeed greatly and to fail miserably.

Not that we live in a free society mind you...

If people really want things like that local communities or groups outside of government or business should be providing it.
