the problem is, in all of these cases, it ceases to be a bucket.
What item do you sleep on, eat on and sit on?

Hydrogen. Yeah kiddies. The bucket is upside down.

Grilled cheese would end up weird, if done on an actual grill, not cheese fried between two pieces of bread
>:c. My answer was more clever.Okay, new riddle: There is a ten pound wooden bucket like object. You must fill it halfway up with something to make it weigh half as much (five pounds), what do you fill it up with?

It would take a lot of Hydrogen (though Helium would be the better option, unless we're filling it with fire) to reduce the weight by half.First of all, I'm pretty sure Hydrogen is lighter than helium, and second of all, the ability of a ten pound bucket to be reduced to five pounds depends much on how much space is inside.

what do you put in a bucket to make it lighter?
How about this oneIf you have it you want to share it but if you share it you haven't got itWhat is it?
