1. You were driving a truck, your combined weight(yourself & the truck) is 1 ton & you have a bridge to cross which can sustain max 1 ton weight. When you reach the middle of the bridge, a bird weighing 500 gms sits on the bonnet of the truck. However you cross the bridge safely without it crashing. When the max weight the bridge could take is 1 ton, then why didnt the bridge crash?

4 Answers

by the time the truck reached the center of the bridge, it had burned away enough of its fuel to compensate for the weight of the bird i.e. the truck had burned away more than or equal to 500gms of fuel. Less

Tell us what will you bring to the team when you join us?

2 Answers
