Well, usually the content of the barrel is counted towards it weight, and usually there is at the very least air in the barrel. By substituting the content for something lighter (helium vs air) it'll weigh less.   Quote: And vacuum?   Same reasoning, except you remove content altogether.   Quote: All other answers are fine but your still missing the main one. I didn't think "hole" was even worth mentioning anymore. Besides which WTF already did. « Last Edit: Dec 20th, 2006, 8:24am by towr » IP Logged Wikipedia, Google, Mathworld, Integer sequence DB Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Uberpuzzler Sorry Goose, it's time to buzz a tower.     Gender: Posts: 1672 Re: Barrel   « Reply #8 on: Dec 20th, 2006, 8:54am » Quote Modify And a candle or lamp, which towr already mentioned, are great answers too.
