juggle them

DING DING DING WINNER!!!

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?

Turn two of the switches on, go inside the room and check. If the light is off, then it's the third one.

If it's on, then you have a 50% chance of guessing which one it is

Close. Before you go in, turn one switch off. If the light bulb is on, you know which switch it is. If it is off, check the bulb to see if it's hot or cold, that'll tell you which of the two it was.

It's a classic microsoft interview question: Flip one switch on for several minutes, then flip it off and flip another switch on... if the bulb is on it was the last switch, if the bulb is warm it was the first switch, if neither of those cases it was the switch you didn't hit.

Edit: Doh, beaten to the punch.

Bridges are cool like that.

actually, if it's rated at 210lbs it can probably carry a good 300-400 safely.

My favorite thing about this riddle is that it will be obsoleted as incandescent bulbs become less widely used.
