Read the label :O ?

I say, you pick each one up and determine which is heavier before putting it on the scale :/

That makes the most sense.

It's not a trick question. You can only weigh one barrel on a scale.

Read the label :O ?

No. Again -- it's not a trick question.

I'll give you a hint.

You can do anything you want with the barrels or their contents before weighing them, but you won't be able to tell which one is heavier just by lifting them.

Yeah you would. 2 * # of balls = a lot, it'd definitely be enough to tell a difference when picking up the barrels.

It's unrealistic, tell your boss to think of something that would work in the real world if he's so smart.

It's a puzzle, dumb ass.

Just shut up if you can't solve it. Kthxbai.

[Ergot]

Crash them together. The one with the 2 ounce would be less inert therefore pushing the lighter ones back.

[Sidoh]

You have to use the scale to determine it. Again... it's not a trick question.

And Lmao @ Ergot's answer. That's pretty good :D

He's giving answers that would work and fit the expressed criteria of the original post. You're just not happy because it's not the answer you're looking for.

I don't know. :(
