@LLiddell, I got it right. However I was wondering if you could offer an explanation as to how you arrived at this answer? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just curious on the logic. Feel free just to point me to a link. Obviously, I understand you can't post it here until the quiz is done. So if you've got something to share, either PM me or post it after the quiz is done. Thanks and well done on another interesting quiz! 😁

Thanks,
NicCrockett

The gist is that they base it on the weight of the electrons that make up the data.

Don't view this link if you haven't already attempted the trivia!

Apparently some say it's closer to the weight of a grain of salt, but the original estimate was what is used in this week's trivia.

I did not expect a question like that but had an educated guess and got the correct answer.

Thanks as always @LLiddell! That's exactly what I wanted to know. 🤔

@ProTruckDriver, it was also my favorite fruit, although I picked it for another reason. One I can't state without giving away too much info. Also, dang it, now all of you know the answer to that security question of mine. 😱

@Jasper_The_Rasper, @TripleHelix only got it wrong to make us peons feel better. Daniel's gotta throw us a bone every once in awhile. 😂 Just in case anyone might be offended, I'm only joking around. Yes, he's good, but we all contribute here. Let's all celebrate! 🎉

Thanks,

I was just thanking @LLiddell and suggesting that others read it for the explanation on how they came to the answer of strawberry. However, I agree with you @TripleHelix, I'd like to see a graph like that too. Good idea!
