A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?

Rubius-sama
Sep 19, 2005, 11:34 PM
Farmer carried the heavier sack because he is one man. The 2 sacks was carried by multiple helpers.

What is new everyday, in thousands of places across the world, every morning?

Rubius-sama
Sep 20, 2005, 03:24 AM
err...okay.

The farmer carried one sack of grain while the helper carried 2 (empty) sacks...so farmer got the heavy load.

Zarode
Sep 20, 2005, 07:23 AM
Neither! Because the farmer is carrying a large sack while the helper is carrying two smaller sacks that equal to the larger one.

Correct.

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

I should have maybe said new and different. Since a sunrise is the same thing everyday.
