Too Easy Dutch:

Take:
1 Bar from Camel 1
2 Bars from Camel 2
3 Bars from Camel 3
4 Bars from Camel 4
5 Bars from Camel 5

10 Bars from camel 10

If they were all good the total weight should be 550 lbs

If Camel 1 had the thief Total weight = 550 lbs * 1 lb = 449 lbs
If Camel 2 had the thief Total weight = 550 lbs * 2 lb = 448 lbs
If Camel 3 had the thief Total weight = 550 lbs * 1 lb = 447 lbs
If Camel 4 had the thief Total weight = 550 lbs * 1 lb = 446 lbs
If Camel 5 had the thief Total weight = 550 lbs * 1 lb = 445 lbs
If Camel 6 had the thief Total weight = 550 lbs * 1 lb = 444 lbs
If Camel 7 had the thief Total weight = 550 lbs * 1 lb = 443 lbs
If Camel 8 had the thief Total weight = 550 lbs * 1 lb = 442 lbs
If Camel 9 had the thief Total weight = 550 lbs * 1 lb = 441 lbs
If Camel 10 had the thief Total weight = 550 lbs * 1 lb = 440 lbs

Arrest the Thief!
(I'll give it to the next class anyhow)
