16) Albert the Fat One

Four members of the Knott family intended to cross a lake in a small rubber dinghy. They soon discovered that it wouldn't carry more than 200 pounds, and that's what Albert weighed all by himself!

The rest of the Knott family were considierably lighter. Gigi, for instance, weighed in at only 104 pounds. Nita's weight was six pounds less, and all four Knotts together did not weigh more than 494 pounds. But weight was not the only problem. Nita Knott didn't know how to row (although everyone else, including Mona) did.

After considerable debate, teh Knotts figured out a way to cross the lake safely. What was their solution?
