What's the difference between
the lightest and heaviest
suitcase?​

Answer 1

29Kg

Explanation:

P1=2Kg

P2=7Kg

P3=31Kg

P3-P1=29Kg

To find P1, P2 and P3 I started assigning the first prime number, 2, to P1 and tried to assign prime numbers to P2 and P3 so that the sum was 40, increasing them at each step.

I was lucky and I got the result after few steps :-)
