Kebab Delivery
The owner of the "Sweaty Chef" kebab shop Mr. Juan, had ordered a fresh delivery of kebabs. Mr. Juan was a bit of a strange character and insisted that the kebabs must be delivered in a certain manner. When they arrived they were in boxes, so Mr. Juan weighed each box individually. The boxes weighed as follows:-
Box 1 33kg
Box 2 35kg
Box 3 60kg
Box 4 42kg
Box 5 15kg
Which box did Mr. Juan reject and why?

Which box did Mr. Juan reject and why?
Answer
Box 2, because Mr. Juan doesn't mind how heavy each box is as long as the digits in their weight adds up to 6. Because that is his lucky number and he is very superstitious.Hide Answer Show Answer

I got box 2 ... but I was adding the box number in resulting in ascending values with box 2 out of order.
Simple variation on a theme we've all seen before, so lets make it more interesting: he's Babylonian right?! Loves sexagesimal numbering systems?
dumb. lots of solutions could apply.
Sexagesimal? If that's a real term I'm impressed...I think.
I thought that each kebab is 3kg, and box 2 is faulty.
I was going with the divisible by 3 thing -- makes more sense than adding up the digits.
Don't forget the weight of the boxes!
