Sam is returning to the circus he works in after buying 2kgs(say four pineapples)pineapples in town. He has to cross a rickety bridge to reach the circus. The bridge is a short cut and it can bear only 95 kgs at a time. Sam weighs 94 kgs. What does he do? He can't throw the pineapples across, they might get smashed.

Its not likely that I'll get any more answers, so I'll tell you, Sam was a juggler, so at a given time he'd be carrying 95 kgs only. Markgrinn was the closest. You'll get three stars when the time is up.
Do you like pineapple juice?

Since Sam is in the circus, maybe he could juggle them across the bridge...

Tell Sam to eat 1 kilo of pineapples before crossing the bridge and handcarry the other 1 kilo while passing that bridge. Am sure
he can reach the circus without damaging the bridge!

Each pineapple only weighs half a kg (4/2=.5). He makes four trips across.
Next time tell the circus freak to take the long way.

leave 1kg=2 pineapples before bridge.
cross the bridge as 94+1kg=94+2 pinaapples
leave the 2 pineapples=1kg after crossing.
return back again
take two pineapples from the ground.
cross the bridge 94+1kg=94+2pineapples.
take two pineapples from the ground.
Then go to circus.

Guess he'll have to cross the bridge a few times.

Take one across and leave it there, and then go back and take the other one across
