16. What is That You Can See With Naked Eye

what is that you can see with naked eye, seems to have no weight and yet the more of them you put in an empty container, the lighter the container becomes?

Solution:

The answer is 'holes.' When you create holes in a container, it loses material and becomes lighter. Although holes are not tangible, they can be perceived visually, and adding more holes results in a lighter container.
