A problem by Can Hou
I'm moving home. I have 4 lamps that weigh 2kg, a computer of 5kg, 2 massive speakers of 3kg, a TV of 4kg, four stolen statues of 16, 15, 12 kg and 8 each, a compact bed of 7kg, 3 heavy dictionaries that weigh 1 kg each, as well as three dumbbells of 10kg each. Assume they are all super compressible, and none of them can be taken apart, if I'm going to put them into boxes with 19kg capacity, how many of those boxes are going to be filled completely?
The answer is 6.

that is simple. . . . add all the weight and then devide it by the weight a box can have. . . you will get 6
