Two buckets are filled to the brim with water. If a brick is put in one of the buckets... which bucket is heavier?

The one with the brick. Brick has higher density than water.

The one with the brick. More dense.

Wrong.

Assuming the buckets were identical to begin with, both buckets would weigh the same even after picking the brick in one of them, considering the contents of the bucket doesn't influence the bucket's weight.

Your reasoning is wrong.

Reuben's reasoning sounds right to me, just seems like his technicality doesn't line up with whatever one you are thinking of =p

displacement lol

also you have to assume that the stone the brick is made from is of the same density as water

displacement lol

Winner finally, its just Archimedes' Principle.

Re: ITT we ask easy riddles/questions that people screw up

The brick still weighs more than the water it displaces, there has to be another technicality

Edit:// So you were thinking about displacement all along. The brick is denser than the amount of water it displaced though

Why do people go to bed?

Edit:// Because the bed doesn't come to them *knee slapper*

Time for me to get some rest.

I'll leave with one more -

Divide 30 by 1/2 then add 10, what do you get?

I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.

The time has come,
winter is here
and those yellow bears disappear.

The time has past
as man looks back with a sigh
and a tear in his eye.

As time is held
boys cross their legs
but of course the toilet begs

As time marches on
Girls lose their blush
and swap a comb for their brush

As time passes
For those held high
their end is nigh

As time catches up
Everyone is equal
when we get to the final sequel

As time turns
Without it we have flour and water
With it we have breakfast for my daughter

As time revolves
How does one turn water and wine
into something so fine

As time runs out
The more in a minute you try and squeeze
the less you can do with ease.

As time ticks
All the time that has past
man cannot comprehend something so vast.
