    Answer: Frog+Sheep+Horse=27

    Work: (which took a whole bunch less time than typing it)
    Eq1 F+S = 10 thus F=10-S
    Eq2 F+H = 20 so F+H = 2(F+S) = 2F+2S
    so F+H-F=2F+2S-F thus H=F+2S

    S+H = 24 so S+F+2S=24 thus F+3S=24
    from Eq1 F=10-S so 10-S+3S=24 so 10+2S=24 so 2S=14 thus S=7
    since S=7 then from Eq1 F=10-S thus F=3
    From Eq2 F+H =20 so 3+H = 20 thus H=17
    So F+S+H = howinthehelldoyougetthemallonthescaleatthesametime?

    The sheep gets hungry while you are doing the math and eats the frog,
    but that doesn't change the weight.

    Of course one can't clean the platform until all the measurements are
    made.

    Best is to do the experiment in outer space or in free fall
    then the answer is always zero.
