But shouldn't the answer to the one with the kilograms be metal? Because kilograms is a measure of mass, not weight. And then asking which one is heavier is asking about weight and not mass, and weight is a measure of force requiring gravity and lots of other things to be considered...because something can have less mass than something else but still be heavier.

Mmm, I think by now there's kind of 'two answers' to that question. The logical one would be that metal is the heaviest, but one that is commonly accepted is that they all weigh the same. I think it's because the original question was phrased differently.
