The corrected calculation would lead to ~31 sunflowers per liter.

ChatGPT 3.5 thinks that about 2.2 to 3.6 sunflower heads are enough. I highly doubt it.

According to this website [1], you'd need about 170 sunflowers on average.

That site reads like it's generated from a search query. It has multiple, wildly different answers:

> In general, you will need to use about 100g of sunflower seeds to make 1 litre of oil.

> It takes around 170,000 sunflower seeds to make one litre of oil.

Yeah if you look down, it used 920 in g and 0.02 in mg that's where the extra factor of 1000 came from. I think the 0.02 should also have been in g.

I think 50 milligrams for seed is ridiculously low. This site says theer are about 160 seeds per pound https://realfoodpledge.com/how-many-sunflower-seeds-are-in-a...

so it's more like .3 grams per seed, which sounds about right to me.

I weighed 4 sunflower seeds and got 170mg.

> This site says theer are about 160 seeds per pound

Well, it also says that "A pound of sunflower seeds weighs approximately 1/3 of an ounce (10 grams)" and "The average price per pound for sunflower seeds is 1,260" [sic: no units]. So you'll forgive me if I approach its other claims with a modicum of suspicion.

actually since a pound is around 450 grams, that would be 3 grams per seed, not 0.3 grams. So the 50 milligrams is off by almost 2 orders of magnitude.

I came back here today to see if anyone has the answer to the original question.

It seems no one does.

So I don't know that ChatGPT would ever get the answer, since the interwebs doesn't have it.
