Weighing Puzzle IV  Kirk Soares - May 1, 2011 - Report this comment

1. place 6 balls in each scale to find out which 6 are off. 2. then place 3 in each scale to see which 3 are off. 3. then place 2 of the 3 that were off and see if there is a difference. If not, the remaining ball is the odd ball. If there is a difference, one of the two in the scale is the odd ball, which I would then place in the palm of my hands to determine which one, since I could no longer use the scale. Idiotic I know, but that's me !

Put 3 ball in each pan and weigh it, this is the quickest way to find which is the ball with lighter weight by repeating the task.

Hi Yvette, note that on this page there is just picture (screen shot) of the gadget. That's why if you click on "Solution" on this page (on the picture), nothing will happen. However, you will see the solution if you click on "Solution" in live gadget (after you add it to your igoogle.com). Link to this particular puzzle is on the following page - http://brainden.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=88 and more weighing puzzles are here - http://brainden.com/weighing-puzzles.htm. I have checked the links in live gadget and they are working properly. Let me know via mail if you encounter any issues.

I cannot get out of this site.  Yvette Curry - Apr 27, 2009 - Report this comment

I tried to find the solution or more weighing puzzles and there is not respone. It seems as it is frozen, even after I added it it is still frozen. I think there is someting wrong with the program since my computer is working fine in every other was.

I could find out this way.  Yvette Curry - Apr 27, 2009 - Report this comment

I would put 6 balls on each pan. The lighter one would determine which set is lighter. Then, on my second turn, I would divide the set into 3 on each pan. On my third time I would put one ball on each pan if they are equal the on one on my hand is the lightest or if one is lighter on the scale that is the one that is the lightest. I haven't seen the solution but i think my way is one solution.
