The task is simple, not more complicated than the task of the rope along the equator of the Earth, but it belongs to the same surprising type =)
So, there was a bag of cucumbers that weighed 100 kg. Cucumbers were 99% water. The bag was exposed to the sun, and the cucumbers there a little dried up, dried out and began to consist of 98% water. How much did the bag of cucumbers weigh as a result? (The weight of the bag is neglected.)
