Cornholio 0 #26 November 17, 2004 Quote Quote you have 8 pool balls : OOOOOOOO they are all the same color, texture, size, everything, accept one weighs just a hair lighter than the rest. you have 2 balances: _________ _________ ^ ^ each balance can only be used once before it self destructs. What is the one sure way to find out 100% which one of the pool balls is lighter? Take two of the balls, place to one side. Split the other 6 into two 3's, place on scales. discard the heavier three balls, and the seperate two. Of the 3 remaining balls, seperate one and weight the other two. Find the lighter, or if they are the same the ligher one is the seperate one. If both sets of three are the same discard all 6, and go back to the two. Place both of these on the scales, pick the lighter of the two. I hope this makes sense, i had to think for a minute. you divide the balls into 3 groups: 3 balls, 3 balls, and 2 balls. you weigh the 3 balls against the other three balls. if it balances, you put them aside and weigh the other 2 against eachother. voila. if it doesnt balance after the first test, take the balls from the lighter side. take 2 and weigh against eachother. if the heavy one is on the scale, youll know it. if it balances, the third is your ball. do i win?

No addition or subtraction allowed. 102-99=1 move the 2 up a little bit. then you have 10 squared minus ninety nine equals one.
