How many ants would it take to lift me? I am a 5ft 9" (nearly 6ft) tall 18 yr old girl with size 13 feet. How many would be squashed before lifting me?

According to one source I found, an average ant weighs about 0.0000088 lbs. Supposedly ants can lift 20-50 times their own weight. So let's assume you have some really beefy ants that can all lift 50 times their weight. Let's assume you weigh 130 lbs. Take 130 and divide by (ant's weight times 50). 130 / (0.0000088 * 50) = 295,454 ants.
