Woo, got it right! I only knew that because of those on my river that make their own moorings out of concrete, boasting that they "put in a 500# block". And I'd say "That's good, but just how big of a block?"

... they never grasped the concept of volumetric displacement.

Ha Ha....since there were only three possible answers, I'll bet that you got it right the third time!

I was surprised by what I learned. I shouldn't have been, but, I was. richg99
