Q1. The answer is 20lb. Think about it - if it weighs 10lb plus half its weight, then 10lb must be half its weight, i.e. the other half! Don't feel bad, we all get this wrong the first time (but not the second!)
Q2. Take a pair of scissors and cut a �20 note in half, then weigh this against a �10 note . . .They're not the same! In other words 2x�10 weighs more than 1x�20. Now what's your answer?
Q3. You are of course quite correct!
