Suppose you have a bunch of wooden beds, each weighing 200 pounds each, arranged in a pyramid. The base layer is 5 beds by 5 beds, the layer above is 4 beds by 4 beds, and so on until the top layer of one bed. They are arranged in such a way that each bed is resting on four beds below it, one leg on each bed.

If the weight on each bed is always equally distributed to all four legs, and each bed leg can only support 200 pounds, how many pounds can you place on top of the topmost bed? Please round to the nearest pound, and please submit only a single number as your answer.

  1. this is not a riddle. it is a math problem.


  2. why would you build a pyramid out of beds???????????  

  3. If its the topmost bed it doesnt have anything on top of it.

  4. the top most bed can only hold 200lbs cause if it holds anymore then it will break causing the other beds to break cause they can only hold 200lbs each see u dont add them together just because u stacked them just like if u stacked 2 elevators on top of eachother each elevator can only hold what they were made to hold

  5. 4,000 pounds      

  6. is this a riddle? or are you trying to get us to do your homework?

  7. None, because the beds do not have mattresses.So. There is just a "hole" in the top, and can't hold weight.
