The Wheeler

An 18-wheeler is crossing a 4 kilometer bridge that can only support 10,000 kilograms and that\’s exactly how much the rig weighs. Halfway across the bridge a 30 gram sparrow lands on the cab, but the bridge doesn\’t collapse. Why not?

Spoiler

Since the bridge is 4 kilometers long, the halfway point would be 2 kilometers. The 18-wheeler would have used much more than 30g of fuel to drive 2 kilometers. 😛
