Question of the day

[00gt1]

took me about 20 mins... but then again i was bored at work... who's up to the challenge?

If 8 grapefuit 7 oranges & 3 lemons weigh the same as 3 oranges 6 grapefruit & 6 lemons, if a grapefruit weighs 2/3 as much as a lemon & if a dozen oranges weighs 3 kilos. How much does a lemon weigh?

600 grams...

8(2/3x)+7(.25)+3x=3(.25)+6(2/3x)+6x

x=.6kg, which, although mathematically true in this problem, seems unrealistic . I've never seen a lemon larger than a grapefruit.

Exactly.... at least someone picks these things up

Who gives a damn! Gimme some sugar and mash that son-of-a-bitch up and throw it in my glass!

(some Tequila or Vodka wouldn't hurt)

Depends which fruit stand you shop at, which country they were grown in, and if they grew straight down... Or sideways.
