Hypercube Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Now that I am back...I have a puzzle for you... 1. You have 12 steel marbles. 2. One of them is either lighter or heavier (you don't know which). 3. You can only have 3 weighings on the balance scale to determine which one is different. Its possible, any solutions :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 I vaguely remember this riddle, but I cannot remember how to solve it. :( And, yes, it is possible. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
