could some kind person please clarify a long standing argument within my circle of friends.It goes like this .There is a bridge spanning a gorge that can take a maximum of 80 kilograms(sorry for those not used to kilos ), a person wieghing 78 kilos must transport three gold bars weighing one kilo each to the other side in one go.Can it be done? Some argue that it can be achieved if the person juggles the bars, never holding more than one in any hand at anyone time, ie there are always two in the air.Others argue that it cannot be done. None of us have any great knowledge of physics and would be most grateful for the answer
Cheers
