I'm not starting a new thread for mine so here you go:

A man that weighs 200lbs, is carrying 3, 5-pound boxes. He comes up to a bridge that has a sign that reads "Bridge weight limit 210lbs" The bridge is 3 miles long so he doesn't want to make 2 trips.

How does he get himself and all the boxes across in one trip?

if the weight limit on a bridge is 210lb then thats one crappy bridge...

juggle them

The bridge is strong enough to run three miles, but can only hold 210 pounds?!?

I think he should eat whatever is in the boxes.

well I could make the weight limit on the bridge 10,010 pounds, but then it either be a really fat guy or really heavy boxes.

That's weak!

If he juggles them, the equal/opposite momentum of throwing a 5 pound box in the air with produce the effect of the man weighing an extra 5 pounds, even for a split second.

[shortylickens]

The physics Nazi had a good point, but even more important:
He can just carry them across.

If the bridge is labeled at 210 lbs it can probably carry close to 220 safely.
Bridges are cool like that.

EDIT: I think my answer is better than some asshat trying to juggle 3 five-pound items for three miles!

yeah but doesnt that mean he will be at the weight limit, not exceeding it at any given moment?

First, I want to see someone who can juggle 5 pound boxes for 3 miles.

Second, to see that he exceeds the weight limit, stand on a scale. Hold onto a 5 pound bag of flour. Throw the flower in the air, catch it, and immediately throw it back into the air. (I just guessing that you can't look at the dial on the scale and juggle 3 boxes at the same time). The scale will exceed your weight (plus the 5 pounds) every time you catch and throw the flour.

That's my guess too. I've seen this riddle before, but it involved a woman juggling three balls. The answer is not very satisfying.

except that doesn't work cause the force of decelerating the box as he catches it or accelerating it as he throws it will be more that the 5 lbs it weighs at rest, so this will increase the weight beyond the 215 lbs if he just carried them all.
the guy will then try to juggle them on the bridge and not only fall to a miserable death of falling onto sharp jagged rocks, remaining alive but breaking all his limbs, and subsequently being eaten alive by incects unable to do anything, but he will look like an asshat doing it cause he was juggling boxes when he fell.

I agree

New riddle: So there is a room with a light bulb in it. There are 3 light switches outside the room and only one of them turns the light on. You can go in and check it only once to see if it is on. How do you find out what light switch turns the light on?
