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?

Re: Riddle Game!
 

No, for two reasons:
1) If the truck is exactly halfway across the bridge, it is more than likely centered directly above a pylon - one of the bridge's strongest points. As long as it stays there, no difficulties should arise.

2) Given current technology and fuel efficiency, I would speculate that in a half-mile, a 14,000-pound truck has used at least a bird's weight of fuel, making it below the weight limit.



Who is buried in Grant's tomb? (trickier than one would think)

Grant isn't buried. It's a mausoleum, so his remains are above ground.


Carol is travelling by ship from south of the equator to the north.

She has a nice little second class cabin which has a bathroom, but no window.

Carol has no compass nor other instruments.
Yet, without leaving her room or talking with anyone, Carol knew exactly when the ship crossed the equator.
How did she know?

Re: Riddle Game!
 

She fills the sink with water than pulls the plug.
If the water swirls counter-clockwise than she is north of the equator if it swirls clockwise than she is south of the equator.
