Tim and Adam made a bet.Tim bet Adam that he could put something into his barrel to make it lighter. They first weighed the barrel. Then Adam left the room while Tim pondered a solution.One hour later, Adam returned, and they weighed the barrel once again. The barrel was indeed lighter. What did Tim put in the barrel?

Ummm... That's pretty irrelevant. The point is that he put something in the barrel that did make it lighter. Just because there's a way to make a hole in a barrel in a way that wouldn't make it lighter, does not invalidate the solution.
