Bridge! [Solved]
« on: August 09, 2005, 05:40:17 am »
A bridge, 2 miles long, is rated for 12,000 lbs. Even one ounce more will cause it to collapse. A truck weighing precisely 12,000 lbs begins to cross. At the halfway point, a sparrow weighing 5 ounces lands on the truck. The bridge does not collapse. Why?

I'm guessing he burned gas and the truck lost 5 ounces of weight or more.

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.

Half of the truck is already off the bridge?

It's at halfway point. Unless the truck is two miles long, I don't think that's possible. :)

The truck was full of Mexicans. The bridge leads the INS office.

So!  It never said how long the truck was.

It'd be a pretty bizarre truck if it was 2 miles long and only weighed 12,000 pounds.

That's the right answer, I've seen that one before.
