At 100 miles long the driver of one vehicle could not be aware of all other possible vehicles on the bridge - which is a bit of a problem when one vehicle can exceed the weight limit. I think there may be some health and safety issues! Or am I taking the whole thing too literally? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-14928742891896608142013-01-10T15:55:53.733+05:302013-01-10T15:55:53.733+05:30No no the bridge holds 14000 lbs which is the weig...No no the bridge holds 14000 lbs which is the weight of the truck and the driver combined and since the truck was at the limit when the truck stoped the bird had a chance to land and since the bird has weight, the truck then exceeded the limit and broke the bridge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-73755666037402779182012-12-01T15:58:01.768+05:302012-12-01T15:58:01.768+05:30the weight of the bird is balanced by the alcholic...the weight of the bird is balanced by the alcholic liquid which was using by the driver at the time of stop <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-75826448641155596932012-11-16T15:32:18.963+05:302012-11-16T15:32:18.963+05:30In normal case, The bridge would be collapsed due ...In normal case, The bridge would be collapsed due to bird's extra weight.

In a real life situation; no doubt, there would be bumps on the bridge.<br /><br />When going over a bump, any vehicle will have a change in mass caused from the springs in the tire; the vehicle will bounce upwards causing the CoM (centre of mass) to change (upwards), the mass will decrease for an instant. After the action/ movement , the CoM will come to a rest, vertically (at this point the mass = 14k lbs). Then the CoM changes again (downwards), the mass has now increased. This increase will be quite heavy since the truck is heavy itself.<br /><br />Therefore we can now say; Mass of Truck + Bird > Mass of Truck + extra weight added on from the bump.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-83013704757827478242012-09-25T04:20:20.244+05:302012-09-25T04:20:20.244+05:30Having just seen the answer to this puzzle, I am c...Having just seen the answer to this puzzle, I am content with my above reply and stand firm by it.<br /><br />This puzzle is flawed!<br /><br />Somehow the author and/or editor of this puzzle thinks the bridge can only collapse when the truck reaches about midpoint of the bridge, for it to either collapse or not. <br /><br />This is of course a fallacy. If the bridge was indeed as weak as it was intended in the puzzle, then it would indeed have collapsed. <br /><br />Therefore, under those circumstances; the bridge *would* collapse, *before* the bird would have landed on the truck.

We may begin to expect a chance of 50/50, for the bridge to either collapse or not. There are many problematic situations at play here, as well as several ambiguities that make this puzzle even more difficult and even impossible for it to have only one reason to be acceptable. If we were to take the elements of "A bird lands on the truck" we are already presented with several issues, e.g.: the weight of the bird, the speed at which it lands on the truck, the area of the truck it lands on. Some, and combinations of these, may determine a different outcome than others. Since these issues are at play, I discharge the 50/50 possibility—assuming this is a reasonable question.<br /><br />Therefore, I suspect that something else is going on. My response is that it matters little to what our answer is to the question, it is our reasoning that is more important. The bridge may collapse, with or without the bird landing on it.
