brain teaser

The weight of the bird isnt enough to break the bridge. I mean a bird doesnt weigh all that much anyhow.

the bird at least weighs SOMETHING, and ANY amount of extra weight would make it collapse
 
maybe the bridge's weakest point is in the middle...and that is where the max. weight limit number is derivated from.

once the truck is 3/4 of the way along the bridge, the bird can land safely on the truck without collapsing the bridge

maybe the truck burns one pound of gas driving 3/4s of the way over the bridge and the bird weighs one pound

Damn you that is exactly what I was going to say.

The truck was 3000 pounds before it made it onto the bridge, it burns enough fuel while crossing it that the bird has no impact on it.

Birds are very light.
 
radek that was good ass brain teaser. i look forward to many great times my friend
