A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse? Give a reason.
I will give reason in 4 hours. Check back then!

The weight of the fuel used to get half way across the bridge will be more than the weight of the bird.

IF? this were the case, what about other traffic? Do they stop all other traffic because a truck is crossing?
Back to the riddle, I would guess no. The truck has probably burned enough fuel to offset the weight of a bird.

well in reality no because bridge weight limits aren't exact science. but for the sake of the riddle I think it would because you stated the truck was already to the exact limit and a bird landing on it would of course make it go over the limit.

No!!! The half way the truck traveled was the second half so when the bird landed on the truck it was off the bridge:)

No, I might be wrong...but this is how I see it.
The people who constructed the bridge wanted a pretty accurate weight limit to make people feel safe to cross it. They did not put the exact weight limit though, in fact they could be a couple thousand pounds shy of it. They do this to prevent the maximum load of crossing, therefore breaking the bridge!!!
Hope it made sense lol!

No because the truck burned fuel to get across. And the truck diver probably lost some weight from all that driving. It's hard work you know...

Well if the vehicle is still running it is burning fuel thus reducing the weight of the truck so the bridge wont collapse

The info are ordinary: 10% base and an occasional good faith offering while asked via the spirit ability the the preacher will make the comparable money as ten parishioners. If he has one hundred he will make ten situations as plenty and if he has one thousand he will make.... nicely, you get the component. Now, for the reason. it would be unseemly for God to enable one in all his chosen few journey around in a shabby, ratty previous automobile. God has to coach that his believers substitute into wealthy and the preacher believes so plenty extra in the gullibility of the flock than anybody. He even has them believing that in case you solid your bread on the water that it will return to you ten fold. Wait a minute, a late breaking religious revelation: solid bread and it comes back one hundred fold. no longer precise away perhaps yet once you're affected person and enable the Lord artwork in his mysterious way, it is going to pay off ultimately. Or no longer. incredibly, they might desire to be wealthy bastards to coach that God blessed them right here on earth, because it incredibly is in heaven. you realize, "storing up treasures right here on earth". and that's a quote from the Bible and that's the literal actuality.

No... after the truck traveling halfway accross the bridge, it lost some gas dear. Losing gas is like losing weight.

yes the exact weight is the maximum weight and any other amount of weight will cause the bridge to collapse.
