I ALREADY POSTED THE QUESTION! I don't understand what is wrong with people. It was one post above you, there was no way you could have missed it.
Alright, here is my question. Should we assume each grundo is a different weight? If they are all different weights, I already have the problem solved.
they are all different weights, how are you coming up with it so fast
hey...
im here and ready to help..
anyone willin to work on this?
??
Ok.... how do we know what each one weighs? The first weight was 236, what if one weighed 100 and one weighed 136. Theres no way to know how much one will weigh
i think its asking the greatest posible weight...
so i think its probably 257...

Ely how do you have an answer? How do youw know one gruno was wieghed twice in a row, how do you know which pair of wieghts goes with another pair?
??
How do you get 257? Where do you come up with that?
Ok first how much do they weigh together? (note: each is weighted 4 times)
then how much the two lightest ones weigh, and how much the 2 heaviest weight? this will let us to figure out the weight of the middle one.
finally you actually need to think: how much does the heaviest and the middle one weigh together?
(use a>b>c => a+b>a+c>b+c)
??
I see what your trying to firgure out, but how do you figure out how much 1 grundo weighs, they could weigh any amount, so how do you know which weight goes with which weight
leave single grundos out first, work with pairs. I could put out weights of all them grundos, but what would be the point?
ok starting point is needed
average weight is 121.2 lbs
Im thinking 245 lbs
He would fit in four pairs, like needed (12,13,14,15,23,24,25,34,35,45 -Each digit appears four times)
And theres a pound left in the smallest of the four biggest.
so it is, but it's wrong way to think about it. At least it's the long way.
I can tell you this: each grundo has an integer for its weight, none is less then 100
i just thought again...doesnt work
AARG
wow this ones a toughie...*groan*
Ok, the two lightest grundos together weigh 228, the 2 heaviest ones weigh 258
the five together weigh(228+230+236+238+242+244+246+250+252+258)/4=606

Roly Poly, its impossible to know what the average wiehgt is without knowing the heaviest, you cant find the average weight without knowing what each weighs.
Theres no way of knowing which grundo is in the wieghts
*hits himself on the head for not thinking of that*
