Today's Question - Wally is shipping a package that weighs 4 lbs. plus half its own weight. If the package was 50% larger (1 1/2 times its present weight) how much would it weigh?

Reveal Answer Answer - Oh how the gang wrestled with this weighty problem. One of them even tried an applied science approach by using food. First, he ate 4 lbs. of chicken wings and a half gallon of ice cream. Sensing an error in calculation, he repeated the experiment substituting cheeseburgers and Devil Dogs. Alas, he failed the test. Later in the day, another group tried a similar experiment using liquid measure. No luck on these repeated attempts either. The answer is 12 pounds.
