Here's a brain teaser...

You have 12 boxes. Each box has 12 cans in it. 11 of the boxes have cans that each contain 12 oz. of liquid. 1 of the boxes has cans that contain 11 oz. of liquid. All the cans appear to be the same size, and you cannot tell by lifting a box or can which one is lighter or heavier. You have a scale and can take one and ONLY one measurement. How do you know which box contains the 11 oz. cans?

First one to answer correctly will get an invite. Good luck!
 
Hey guys, I'm gettin pretty desperate waiting for a gmail invite, so if anyone is willing to share an invite with me, i'll give them a $10 Buy.com gift certificate (i'll email you the gift cert #, and the claim code).

terrorific@yahoo.com or pm
 
I wonder how long before Google opens up for general signup. I think they are doing the invite thing for psychological reasons. If you think something is hard to get, you want it more. Did anyone see the South Park episode where Cartman had his own amusement park?

The box that says "contains 12-11 oz cans". I already have my gmail account. Just wanted to see if I'm right.

That is not correct. It's not that easy 🙂 Anyone else?

That's what I was thinking, but he does mention a scale and taking a measurement... Perhaps to throw you off?
