Crossing the bridge

[Olga]

Tom came to a bridge marked "Total weight 100 kilos.' Now, Tom weighed 95 kilos, but he had three pineapples, each weighing 2 kilos. He couldn’t throw them across the river, because the pineapples would be smashed to pieces. How did Tom cross the bridge?

[Рыся]

Juggling with pineapples?

[Марина]

to carry pineapples in ones (? по одному?)

[Olga]

juggling is the right answer

To Marina

Your answer has a kernel but it takes too much pains to carry pineapples one at a time/one by one/one after one

[Марина]

And you think juggling is easier??

In fact, Tom would have to cross the bridge only three times because the first time he can carry two pineapples (it 'll be 99 kg). I think this way is more realistic.

[Olga]

I don't think juggling is easier but this very juggling was the answer to the riddle

[Марина]

I guessed but wanted to suggest another answer for a change

[Olga]

that's fine
