A large truck is crossing a bridge 100 mile long. The bridge can only hold 5000 kg, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck.

Does the bridge collapse, please provide your reasoning?

Bridge wont collapse if the weight of the bird is smaller than the fuel burnt in the fuel tank till 50 miles.

If we tie a light oxygen tank to a bird so that it can breathe on the moon, would the bird fly faster, slower, or the same speed as it does on earth? (Remember that there is less gravity on the moon.)

Scary droplets from the sky.
Tumble down as night goes by.
Over the lands it carries on.
Rainfalls pours, sun is gone.
Merging roars and bright light.
Yearning for a peaceful night.

I roam through the lands hoping to rescue my love. I search high and low, and will stomp on you if you get in my way! What am I ?

I have palms but not on hands, I offer foods from distant lands, When at my peak you’ll see me smoke, I’m famous for my friendly folk, My flowers grow and yet they lay, There’s fire where a man will play. What am I ??
