Comments.Text: Just a tip: if you are doing a science project, then you should personally and demonstrably make sure your passenger is exactly 50g. References like "some users at a public forum said so" are considered to be highly unscientific. Get a scale and do some measurements :)

  Based on a small sample of Minifigure part data provided by [Bricklink](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/main.page), a minifigure in it's most basic form (Head, Torso Assembly and Legs Assembley) weighs about 3g.
  
  A [small hairpiece](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3901&idColor=11#T=C&C=11) or [cap](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4485#T=C) will add about 0.3g - 0.4g
  
  Large hairpieces/headgear can add about [0.9g](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=92083#T=C) - [1.0g](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x161#T=C).
