Dissolve the whole heap in water? Or should I read the article to learn this isn’t a physics question ;-) ?


Yeah, I think that's the right answer. Dissolve it in water and run it through a smallish filter. Other impurities in the salt can clog the filter sometimes.


So close, it was in fact a philosophy question ..

"How many grains of sand change a heap of salt into a pile of manure"


...none? manure requires organic material


Yes, none is correctly wrong.
