    Close enough.

    The answer is you step off the merry-go-round

    100 Minerals.


    Picture a bridge four kilometers long and strong enough to hold ten thousand kilograms, but no more. A loaded transport truck weighing exactly ten thousand kilograms drives onto the bridge. At the halfway point, a sparrow weighing 30 grams lands on the truck, yet the bridge doesn't collapse. How could this be?

    The truck stopped halfway, unloaded, then went about his business while the bird landed when he was unloading!

    Why would the truck unload across the bridge? Heck, that wouldn't make any difference because the weight is still on the bridge!

    haha throw the stuff off of the bridge maybe? so the truck weighs less and the bird lands.

    Just wondering, can it be unreal (ie the truck hovers) so we never guess right, or it's a plausible thing that can happen IRL?

    Shouldn't the bridge be broken anyway? or *somehow* he's the only truck on the whole bridge?

    eh losing gas is more plausible since the bridge is like 4 km. Halfway is like 2 km so I think you lose enough to be less than 10,000 kg and have the bird land. (It's like 30 g!)
