It is pretty cool, but I think it has a problem. Each cube is a 1 cm square. W- Tungsten 18 grams Bismuth 12 grams They are supposed to be at least .999 pure. Am I crazy?

This is one of those days. I'm not a chemist and my last chemistry class was probably sometime in 1988. But I really thought atomic weight and scale weight were proportional. Anyway, this explains it, I think.
