A grocer has a new set of balance scales but unfortunately could only afford one weight = 40lbs. He is very clever and takes the weight to his friend Ernie the Engineer who cuts the weight into 4 pieces for him as a favour. Now George the Grocer can weigh all his fruit and veg for any exact pound weight from 1lb to 40lb. What weights are the four pieces.
