Started asking around this little quiz this morning.. I was so surprised that Gerard solved it so quickly!!! Ok, here goes..
There are supposedly 10 eggs (each weighing 1g) in 10 boxes. However, one of the boxes had 10 eggs that weighed 0.9g each.
So, to summarize:
9 boxes have 10 eggs X 1.0g
1 box has 10 eggs X0.9g
Now, you are given a weighing machine and you may only weigh the eggs once.
Your task: Find out which box contained the 0.9g eggs.
Clue: You have to take the eggs out of the boxes to weigh them.
Think about it when you're free! I'll post up the answer another day!

SO easy! I seen this quiz somewhr before lo.. just label all the box from 1 to 10. Take out the amt of eggs from the box according to the number stated on the box. Weigh all the eggs that you took out and based on calculation, you will be able to guess which box contain 0.9g
Must be your bf tell you the answer!!! Eeee... Seen somewhere le means same as your bf... Not counted!!!!
