Fun game! I have a suggestion: the huge numbers are not quite readable. Maybe add the scientific notation as well. Comparing 73,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 with 844,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 is tricky, especially since the numbers are not right aligned. Adding a 73.4×10^21 vs 844×10^21 would be helpful.

Yeah, I'd find that more readable too. I aimed for something anyone could understand.
Of course you might have the issue of short scale vs. long scale billions but a footnote should solve that.

#45> 1000 tons of bricks This option was strange, because all other options don't compare concrete weigh but weight of objects.

#50Fun! Some feedback: 1. Spruce up the design to make seeing the answer more of a "fun" experience 2. Button to share an answer on social media 2. Button to send a question to a friend
TBH my HTML and CSS is so rusty. I haven't built a webpage in about a decade! I love number 2 and number 2. That's awesome, especially sending a question to a friend. Love it.
