Nice!

I was thinking halfway through, “man I’m good if you just want to weigh it…” but the counting out time lapse did add something.

The one with rice I like was for exponential increases in size. Story: guy goes to the ruler of the kingdom and gets the ruler to agree to give him 1 grain of rice on the first square chess board, doubling every square so then two on the next, four on the next and so on. Runs the kingdom out of rice before he gets to the end of the chess board.

Another good one for the 1000x scaling is time. People seem to be able to grasp time magnitudes better than money. 1 million seconds is 12 days. 1 billion seconds is 32 years. 1 Trillion seconds is 31,688 years.
