Derby Car Update

Lesson number 6 (or is it 7?) : Quarters and nickels weigh the same: .2 oz.

We went to the den leader's home this morning, and he drilled out the bottom of Ian's car so we could stuff enough nickels in to make weight.


Lesson number 7: Drilling out wood means loss of some weight.

That's okay, though. Ian's car now weighs 4.7 ounces, and since he is supposed to be at a maximum of 5 ounces, we can stuff another nickel under there and be as close as we're going to get.
