Put them all on the scale at once, and remove one barrel at a time until the number % 2 == 0

Technically, that's weighing them more than once.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

No.  It's the equivolent of stepping on a scale and then taking off your shirt.  As long as you never get wholly off the scale, it's only 1 weighing.

There's a BIG RED BUTTON on the scale.  You put stuff on the scale, and press it.  It tells you the current weight, and it will never work again.

When three or more people (who haven't solved this riddle already -- iago and newby (with extra help)) agree that the answer should be posted, I shall do so.
