Hohoho!! So it seems that there ARE people actually reading my blog. LOLS! In that case, I shall post a question on every post for the time being. As an incentive to check back, I'll put the answer in the next post!! Wahahax!! So here's the question for this post! =D
Here's a simple one.
There are 8 identical coins. One of which weighs heavier than the rest. Using ONLY a pan balance (balancing scale), in 2 weighs, identify the heavier one.
A rare treat from me! Once you've solved the earlier one, here's another!
There are 12 identical coins. One of which has a different weight as the others. You don't know whether it is lighter or heavier at this point in time. Using ONLY a pan balance, in 3 weighs, figure out which is the 'bad' coin.
