Wrong imo.

The empty weight of a Boeing 747 varies between 162,400 and 186,000 kilos. For the purposes of this question, we have to calculate the average weight of an unladen swal... I mean, uh, empty Boeing 747. The average weight, taking into account the 6 different boeing 747 models, is (162,400 + 174,000 + 178,100 + 178,756 + 164,382 + 185,972) / 6 = 173,935. Next step is to figure out the weight capacity of the average boeing 747: (333,390 + 377,842 + 377,842 + 396,890 + 412,775 + 439,985) / 6 = 389,787. Note that this is the maximum take off weight, but for the purposes of this question, we have to assume that the crazy mofo that wants to load a boeing with ping pong balls actually wants to fly the little [censored] somewhere.

So, the maximum weight capacity on average is 389,787 - 173,935 = 215,852.

The international rules of ping pong specify that the game is played with a light 2.7 gram ball. So we'll use that figure in our calculations. Obviously the volume of the ball in relation to its weight plays a role here, but we're gonna be cheap bastards and squeeze the [censored] out of those little bastards so we can load up our plane with as many of them as possible.

So, we have 215,852 kilos of free space and a ball weighs 2,7 grams. One kilo equals 1000 grams. 1000 / 2,7 = 370,73. 215,285 * 370,73 = 79,735,105 which is the correct answer to the question.

Pretty easy imo.

All I can think about while reading this thread is a woman shooting a ping pong ball out of her vagina.

Apparently i'm more deviant than the average BBV4ler, I just fake being a respectable gentleman.
