Home & Household

The objects you touch most are the ones you weigh least in your head. Mugs, pillows, doors, buckets — familiarity feels like knowledge, but when the slider is in front of you, "I hold this every day" suddenly isn't a number.

Household objects also span a sneaky range: from a sheet of paper to appliances you need two people to carry. Mid-size items around 1–5 kg are where most players miss.
