weights

Ok... in the Sahara desert we have an arab, a camel, a boat ,and a scale that can only weight one kilogram at a time. How do we find the camel's weight?

cant be done, even if you weigh out 1kg of sand repeatedly - you can only work out the weight of the sand plus its container which would have to be the boat because the others would die eating all the sand.

sell the boat, buy a better scale

Kill the arab.  Make a container out of his skull or perhaps flesh.  Kill the camel.  Place a small portion of the camel into the makeshift container and weigh it using subtraction.  Repeat until you have the total weight of the camel.

Cut the camel into chunks of size dW < 1 kg. Weigh them and add them up. Kill the arab.

Put the boat inside some kind of enclosed area.  Mark the line of the water.  Put the camel inside the boat, mark the new line of the water.  Scoop the water onto the scale until you remove enough water such that the initial line is on the top of the water.  Then sum up all the weights.

Then kill the arab and the camel.

sorry, sell the camel

I've done that before. You kill the boat, rape camel, steal scale and ride away on arab. Easy.

Op here. here is how i would do it: kill the arab. put him on the ground. place the boat with its midsection on top of arab. put the camel on one side of the boat, and add sand on the other side until the boat equilibrates(one kilo of sand at a time)

Take the boat, sail to a place with the internet. Google the average weight of a camel.

Slay arabs until you have a sea of blood. Sail away on your boat with your Weighted Companion Camel.

Make your camel the standard reference camel.  Set the weight of the standard reference camel to 1 unit.  Done.

Because that's where Jesus hid Noah's Ark to prevent people from finding it on Mt. Ararat.

Don't change these.
