A huge thank you to everyone who entered! The guesses were all over the scale but, after two days of intense judging (OK, really just a little sunburn from reading entries while sitting around our picnic tables) we have found our winners.

The official weight of the rock is 5,600 lbs

#1: Ms. Rosa Perez-Garcia of Newport News Public Schools submitted on Wednesday @ 11:42PM: “Hello, I am going to guess the rock’s weight in kilograms. I would say it is 2427 kilograms or about 5339 pounds.”

#2: Ms. Sue Palmberg of E.O. Smith High School in Connecticut submitted Wednesday @ 8:13PM: “I think the rock weighs 5320 pounds.”

#3: Ms. JoAnne Disken of Nassau BOCES Model Schools submitted on Tuesday @ 5:47AM: “I guess 2.4 tons or 5291.1.”

Congratulations to our winners and one last shoutout to the TeqSmart rock!
