Lead Floats (Posted on 2004-02-25)

How can one get lead to float? Assume it is in a lump, not made into a boatlike shape, nor carried in a boatlike device.

Another idea?

But then you haven't got the lump of lead to float, you have got the lump of cork.

Are there any other ideas besides putting it in mercury? (or similar solutions)
