How about this, I reduce yours and Deity's points to oh,... say 50 each? :devil:
And the points you take from them you give to us little people :thumbs:Quote:

Thanks for the point :)
I don't know how you do it Adept. Keeping up with the replies, keeping score, PM's with new questions, finding new questions, etc.......sounds like a hard job!Quote:

Imagine Fred, a magician, is carrying 3 pieces of gold each piece weighing one pound.
While taking a walk he comes to a bridge which has a sign posted saying the bridge could hold only a maximum of 180 pounds. Fred weighs 178 pounds and the gold weighs 1 pound each. Fred reads the sign and still safely crossed the bridge with all the gold.
How did he manage this?
__________
He juggles the coins so 1 is always in the air.
he leviated(sp?) across the bridgeQuote:

You guys are freaking me out. :p
because all advisories are posted with a degree of error factored into them so if the max weight was 180 and he would have been at 181 the weight would still be supported.
He juggles the coins so at least 1 is always in the air for a maximum of 180 pounds.Quote:

oh no - a top 4 contender is back! http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/fork.gif
This is clearly the solution the author of the riddle intended, but I contend that it won't actually work. The extra force caused by launching and catching the extra gold brick will push the magician's effective weight above 180 lbs at those two moments, collapsing the bridge.Quote:

I was going to give you a bonus point for thinking this up, you little... but then started cogitating about this a bit:Quote:

And would that impact the total force exerted against the bridge?
I feel another bout of reasearch coming on... :p
