late night theoretical thoughts: if I put a perfect* ping pong ball on top of a perfect bowling ball on top of a perfect basketball...

will the contact area between the ping pong and the bowling ball be the same size as the contact area between the bowling ball and the basketball?

*perfect for this thought exercise means no nubs, dimples, or imperfections of any kind. I'm merely using them to illustrate the varying volumes of perfect spheres.
