Line up the boxes, 1-12
Start with the first box and take out one can;
Go to the second box and take out two cans;
Go to the third box and take out three cans, and so on until taking 12 cans out of the 12th box.
This should result in 78 cans.

Weigh the cans. If they all weighed 12 oz, the result would be 936. If the result is less than 936, then the difference between the two is the box containing the lighter cans. For example, if the 11oz cans are in box two, then the resulting pile would weigh two ox lighter, 934.

Am I close?

If you tap the cans with a coin or something, the 11 oz. cans will ring/sound lower??

I don't think he deserves the win. In your riddle you said u can't lift the box or can. I think i deserve the invite for bringing this to your attention.

 

[Wookieboy]

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. I actually already have gmail (I payed someone $1.50 on here a week or so ago for an account). I was just doing it for the fun of it. Do you just want me to give it away?

Give it to me.

 

[Wookieboy]

yeah if you would, pass it to the next person you think is appropriate, or you can just post a link and feed it to the sharks.
