1, 3, 9, 27
How do you get a 35 lbs?
Place the 27 and the 9 pound weight on the counter scale (were the weights
go) and the one pound on the scale with the meat.

I have a math puzzle that I can not figure out
and was wondering if anyone has heard of it:
You go to a Butcher shop who has one of the old
style weight scales. Not a digital one. One that
just events out.
You have 4 weights of any size (only 4 weights)
the butcher must use those 4 weights to provide
1 lbs of beef up to 40 lbs of beef.
He should be able to deleiver the desired amount
(1-40lbs) at anytime. What are the 4 weight values?
Thanks,
