Elephant's
Weight
Thanks Circus boy

Answer :
Load the
elephant onto a large boat.
The boat
will sink slightly.
Mark the
level of the water on the side of the boat.
Offload the
elephant and fill the boat with bags until the boat sinks to the level
marked.
The bags can
be individually weighed using beam scales and the weight of the
elephant is the sum of the weight of the bags.
