The book’s title, How Do You Weigh Appukuttan? starts as a puzzle, faced by a king and his intelligent people, awaiting a solution. The kingdom was populated by people who were eager and intelligent to find answers to any and every question that came their way. But weighing Appukuttan on a machine was next to impossible. A slip of a girl, Meenu, successfully solves the puzzle. This book, without mentioning Archimedes, introduces his principle to children.
