>if by weight then is the heated one
Either of you niggers want to explain your ideas?

Personally, I think the heated bulb should get slightly larger, but still have the same mass, so it's slightly more buoyant in air, but not actually lighter.

Also...

>lit buld has insignificantly more mass but significantly less weight
Are you implying gravity itself has changed?
Weight IS mass * gravity, or am I missing something?

>this has nothing to do with any ISO standards you goddamn fucktard
>do I have to explain to you why you are retarded?

It has everything to do with the ISO standard, watch:
yyyy > mm > dd
so far so good?
let's look closer:
y>y>y>y > m>m > d>d
...still nice and tidy.

now the Euro system:
d>d < m>m < y>y>y>y
and America:
m>m > d>d < y>y>y>y

Arabic numerals go from general to specific, left to right, mm/dd makes sense, dd/mm is all mixed up.

>>I built a clock and wanted to show off.
Except that he didn't build a clock.
There really wasn't anything to show off.
Still waiting for an explanation more plausible than "race card hoax".

>Don't reply again. It's getting embarrassing.
Not for me it's not.

>Due to the wording, it is 50lbs. But, in reality it'd be 99lbs.
If you dehydrate it down to 99 lbs, and 1 pound isn't water, that means 98 of 99 lbs ARE water, so that's 98/99 = 98.989898...% water

>100lbs of potatoes.
>99% of the potatoes is water by weight.
>Remove 98% of the water by weight.
>How much do the potatoes weigh?
>A: 99lbs
Nope, you're removing 98% of 99 lbs of water, leaving 2% of 99 lbs, or 1.98 lbs water.
Add your pound of solids, the total is 2.98 lbs, not 99.

>I think this problem is only due to ambiguous wording of English.
There's nothing ambiguous about the wording.

Your shit would seem more plausible if you even knew how/why to greentext, you mong.
