1.One. Only you
2. In normal conditions (in Earth's atmosphere, at the same elevation) a ton of bricks weighs more than a ton of feathers, because the density of a brick is greater than density of a feather (feathers are mostly hollow inside). Therefore, the Earth's atmosphere has a greater "floating" effect on the feathers, making them weigh less than bricks.
People who give "both weigh the same" answer ignore the fact that a ton (1000 kg) is the measure of mass, not weight. See More▼ Let me ask: what weighs more, a ton of rocks or a ton of helium-filled ballons? Guess! ;)
I rarely go with the obvious answer....
3.An egg
4.There were 4 American Presidents in the 1960's . Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy ; Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon. Which one do you mean?
5. Same Person Obvi!
