Thank you Variola [^]

A man weighing 180 lbs. carrying 3 bowling balls weighing 10 lbs. each, approaches a large ravine. The only way to cross is a bridge with a weight limit of 200 lbs. The ravine is to far to throw or roll the balls across. How can the man cross the ravine in only one trip, with all 3 bowling balls? [;)]

I do hope this isn't a juggling one - cos BC is right; it's impossible. 

And also because juggling three 10lb bowling balls whilst walking across a rickety bridge is next to infeasible. I have kilogramme juggling balls and after a few minutes my arms are tiring and you miss a catch; five times the weight and balls that don't even come close to fitting in one's hand - that's a circus act.

Remember to slightly change the question before posting, About 342 results are given..........

Sorry Omid, I lost my brain, but luckily the server farms at the chocolate factory were able to recreate it from a backup. At least they found one cell, so I probably still have a whole brain.

That won't work. The extra push you need to throw the ball into the air adds to your weight adn would break the bridge.
That's why it's not safe.

No cheating, but it would be 4 chairs. 2 grandfathers, and 2 to seat 2 of their male children who also have children. Fits all of the requirements - there are the 2 grandfathers, the 4 fathers ( 2 are grandfathers) and of course they are all somebody's sons.



Demografix, I did check lost&found, but there were some files in there that belong to "root" only, and not me. I am still missing a brain cell, the other one is getting lonely.

Ignoring that Australia cannot be defined as an island - Australia was as big before it was discovered (by a European in the case given). If it's the biggest of anything I'm betting single country.

This was a question on the radio this morning, and Omid is currently residing there, in the lovely British Island, made up of England, Wales and Scotland.

Demographix, the other brain cell belongs to a certain dove that I am hand rearing, as it was evicted from it's nest. Lovely little bird, called B5, a continuation of the series of flying rats I have brought up to the point of kicking them out into the wild again.

I think Omid is confusing her second language again, I am not a male chicken who cuckolds the henhouse.
