Which is heavier, a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?
They both way the same (a ton)
Why this works
This riddle plays on our assumptions about weight and materials. At first glance, one might think bricks are heavier than feathers because of their density and typical size. However, the key lies in the phrase "a ton," which means both a ton of feathers and a ton of bricks weigh the same—2,000 pounds! The riddle cleverly challenges our perception of weight versus volume, making us consider how we define heaviness.
