278 lbs Dan Tilque (-646 lbs)
295 lbs Peter Smyth (-629 lbs)
650 lbs Joshua Kreitzer
924 lbs *** Correct Answer *** (aka 419 kg)
1000 lbs Russ (+76 lbs)
Dan Tilque is eliminated, and probably traumatized by seeing the actual amount.
That's about 5 regular people.
This contest is now open to Peter Smyth, Russ, and Joshua Kreitzer.

Constaninople.
It was sacked some 40 years later when the Greeks took it back, and
then in 1453 which was the final end of the Roman Empire.
