Question

A man takes a 20 kg barrel and puts something in it. it now weighs less than 20 kg. what did he put in it?

Answer 1

A HOLE!!!!!

Answer 2

Helium!

Answer 3

Helium, hydrogen, or any other gas that is lighter than air.

[Edit] To those who answer "hole". Firstly, a hole is not "something". Secondly, you don't put holes into anything, you MAKE holes. So if the answer is supposed to be "hole" then the question is flawed linguistically, or grammatically, or ssomething!

Answer 4

Putting a hole in it is the only way to decrease its weight. Hydrogen is the lightests element, but if he filled it with hydrogen, it'd weigh more. it's density would be lowered, but its weight would be increased slightly.

Answer 5

Helium

Answer 6

Helium.

Or Holes.
