Fun Fact: Arabic numerals aren't even Arabic. They're from India. Arab traders adopted it and when they traded with the West, that's when Europe was exposed to them and called them "Arabic" numerals.

Its obviously the hammers. You can prove it by dropping hammers and feathers that weigh the same as the hammers from a tall building. The heavier things - the hammers- will fall faster and hit the ground first.

But if you dropped a small stone and a bag of hammers from a tall building, which would hit the ground first?

The hammers because theyre heavier. (Assuming the small stone really is a small stone and doesnt weigh a ton or something.)

Interesting, were they drawn the same way in India where they originated?
