A Riddle


Shadix

569 views

Whoever guesses the riddle first gets a prize!

 

Let's say there is a 10 mile long bridge that can only hold 10 tons. Not 1 ounce more. If any more gets onto the bridge, it collapses.

Let's say there is a truck that enters the bridge weighing exactly 10 tons. Half way across, a bird lands on the bridge, and it doesn't collapse. Why?

(This isn't some crazy mathematical weight thing. Trust me, you'll facepalm when you hear the answer)

Because what bird weighs less then.... nothing? Remember, the truck weighed EXACTLY 10 tons and the bridge can only hold EXACTLY 10 tons.
