Question

brain teaser
#1 A woman was being chased through the jungle by a tribe of cannibals.she was carrying two gold ingots weighing pound 9 each. she came to a rope bridge which she needed to cross but she saw a sign saying "maximum weight 125 pounds".She herselfis 110 pounds.she did not have time to carry each ingot across individually, it is too far to throw it.....How will she escape with the 2 ingots?

Answer 1

she will move forward with one gold ingots and after she reaches away might be in middle then she must throw it to other side of the bridge
then return back to take the other
the collect the thrown piece and move away

Answer 2

She will be juggling the two ingots and cross the bridge.In that case only 1 ingots will remain at her hand at any particular instance.So maximum weight exerted by the woman will never be greater than 119 pounds

Hope this helps : )
