An unemployed man walks into a shipping warehouse on the wharf. He goes to the foreman and asks for a job. The foreman says he`ll give him a job if he can figure out a problem with 10 bushels of apples. Nine of the bushels are full of apples weighing 1 pound each. But one bushel contains apples weighing 1.1 pound each. All of the bushels contain the same number of apples. The foreman wants to know which bushel has the heavy apples. There is a scale, but he can only make one measurement on the scale. Making only one weight measurement,how can the man find which bushel contains the heavy apples? He can include any combination of bushels or apples on the scale.
Chib can't play, again!
Is he allowed to take one apple from each bushel????If he can, than he only have to remember the order he was taking them, and when did the scale increased for 1.1 pound. Yes?
Nope, he has to take the apples then put them on the scale.
