Puzzle No.32

A trout’s tail weighs eight pounds. Its head weighs as much as the tail and one-half of the body combined, and the body weighs as much as the head and tail combined. What does the whole trout weigh?

.

.

.

The answer is: 64 pounds

We have t = 8;     h = 8 + b/2;     b = h + 8.

Then, h = 8 + (h + 8)/2 –> h = 24, and b = 32; therefore, the whole trout weighs 64 pounds.
