    Some brain teaser for the scientific-minded

    I see two trains of thought to the o.p. :- Whilst thinking ' no, cos it's too heavy', surely ( for example) 10kg/m2 is the same for 1M as it is for 2 ? But you can't argue with my second reasoning - ' No, because the adhesive has already been used'. Therefore the SAME adhesive can't be used...
