Rafi stands between a lightly loaded coral cart on thin wheels and a heavily loaded teal cart on broad fat tires, facing a wide field of smooth untouched brown mud.

Which cart presses each patch of mud harder?

The field cart carries more, but its tires are broad. The little cart is lighter, but its wheels are skinny. So which one digs in?

First, count one load's total downward push. More cargo means more amber push tokens. We are not looking at tires or mud yet.

Next, count the ground a tire touches. Each blue pad is the same size. This footprint is empty—no push is on it yet.

Now practice sharing away from carts and mud. Keep 20 counters total. More boxes means a smaller equal pile in each box.

Now both change at once. Cart A: lighter, skinny. Cart B: heavier, wide. Both per-patch shares stay covered.

Guess before opening either share.

Which cart makes the bigger push on each equal patch of mud?
