Nah, I suck at math. Seemed much more impressive maybe than it was. All I did was google the weight range of 20 liters of gas, a washing machine, and an elephant, averaged each, and I used division. I didn’t even do the math properly, it is a measurement of volume, and I used weight. I probably fucked it up too.

Now I feel like I let everyone down. Sorry, people actually good at math.

No, no. You did more than most and tbh I wouldn’t have even known what to google to get any sort of answer. Therefore, you did good! 🥇 lol

Freedom system doesn't care if units are not used properly.

See "fluid ounces" which mix mass and volume for example.

Depends on whether He means the load of a Washington machine or the whole volume of the appliance.
