In fact, there are combinations of 3 kg and 8 kg weights which have means equal to 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 kg. Click to see them all.

 mean = 4
 mean = 5
 mean = 6
 mean = 7
 mean = 8

 

Mahdi from Mahatma Gandhi International School in India used algebra to extend the problem to other pairs of weights:
