A riddle for you - first correct answer gets 10 points?!
Question: Indiana jones steals 3 gold bars from a Mayan temples, then he is chased by the priests and runs away.
He reaches a rope bridge with a 1000ft drop that can only take 240 lbs without breaking.
Mr Jones weighs 180lbs, each bar weighs 25 lbs - yet he manages to get to the other side with all 3 bars - how?
He cannot throw any bars across - it is too far.
He does not use any other items, e.g. helium baloons.
He does not take anything off in order to make himself lighter.
He has no string, or any means to pull the bars across after he makes the other side.

juggle them accross the bridge
puts one bar down goes across and put both bars down and goes and picks the other one up
He walks over with 2 and leaves the other one behind then walks back to collect the other one!
takes them across one at a time?
He makes it in 2 trips.. the priests are very slow at chasing people.
He uses a different bridge ??
It's a Hollywood movie, and the script says "He'll make it!", that's how he does it!
Is it possible that he can juggle those gold bars?
If he manages to juggle them correctly, the most he would ever weigh would be if he had two in each hand (230 pounds).
he takes 2 goes back and takes the other
He leaves 1 bar behind.
The following priests take the bar but still persue the other two bars,1st priest crosses with gold bar , is shot by Jones, who retrieves the bar cuts the bridge and makes good his escape !
he puts one in good view and lets the chasing priest take it over for him. all that is left is to knock him out and take it.
2 bars= 50 lbs.so indiana jones took 2 bars,with him,weighting 180+50=230 lbs to the other side of the bridge.then he walk back alone to take the last bar and walk across the bridge again?
He digs a hole and make the priests fall, hahaaaaa... then he carries a gold bar one at a time.......... lol
Simple.
All you need is a hollywood film crew, an army of wadrobers, caterers and publicists, a budget of several $10's of millions and a totally gullible public.
He puts down one bar and carries the other two over the bridge first
then he comes back and takes the remaining bar over
Yes,I agree w/ the right answer,we can split 5 pts. each.
he walks across the other bridge right next to it
He negotiates with the priests who then swing on the rope one after another each carrying one gold bar.
ahhhh................
he ties one of the bars to the bridge rope. carries the other two across then pulls the rope with the one tied to it across. this makes the bridge uncrossable for the priests too.
