You are going to a food party on a small deserted island. The host asks that you bring food but first check with them about if it can be brought or not.
Some other people have already gotten accepted for:
- 12 slices of bread
- 18 pounds of cooked ravioli
To determine their criteria, you asked them a variety of questions:
- 1 block of lead - Not Allowed
- 2 zucchini - Allowed
- 12 blades of grass - Allowed
- 32 potatoes - Not Allowed
- 7 apples - Allowed
- 8 blueberries - Not Allowed
- 10 bananas - Allowed
What is their criteria for what to allow?
Hints:
- 12 brain - Probably Not allowed
- 12 pieces of pizza - Allowed
- 12 pieces of metal - Not allowed
Hint #2:
Re-read the first sentence
Answer
I believe the criteria is:
Items that float. The amount does not matter.
Reasoning:
Lead, potatoes, ripe blueberries, and metal all sink in water. I couldn't find a consensus on whether brains float in water hence the "probably not allowed". Cooked Ravioli, apples, bread, zucchini, grass, Bananas, and pizza should all float. Regarding the second hint, you are going to a deserted island, so you probably want things that can easily float.
