your words were he picked up the weight not the rope so when the weights pressure is actually on your hand and not on the rope the rope will not snap ik I'm a genius :)
Simple answer(s), he tied the rope at both ends of the weight, like a sling, and picks it up (60 lb load on both ends of the rope) no problem, like toting a purse, or he doubles the rope, same thing. Maybe he got a small block and tackle, threaded the rope thru the pulleys, he could pick up many tons if the rope is long enough. Or maybe he wound the rope aroung the flywheel of a winch, cranked the motor (oops, sorry no winch in the riddle!!!!) just a rope with no length specified!! : /
This wouldn't work... the buoyant force wouldn't be great enough to decrease the weight that much. A better solution would be to throw the rope over a solid tree branch and tie each end to the weight.

The man would not be able to lift the weight, in fact he would pull him self out of the water before it would snap on him.
