Unless there is a preponderance of children or anorexic supermodels lurking on this list, I seriously doubt that if you put any ten HQ Digest participants together you'd get anything close to a weigh-in of only 375kg. If the two people I shared my room with at Tentacles and I were included in the 10, the other 7 would have to average about 18kg (less than 40 lbs) each...
