You are given 8 balls that are identical 1 of them is heavier than the rest You are given a scale and 2 attempt How do you find the heaviest ball?
The key here is to understand that the scale can distinguish 3 cases, not just 2.As a first step, put 3 balls on one side, and 3 on the other. If one side or the other is heavier, that side will have the heavy ball. If the two weight the same, the heavy ball is one of the other 2.Assuming the ball is in one of the groups of 3 you weighed at first, continue weighing one on each side. Once again, you have three cases. Left side is heavier (that is the heavy ball), right side is heavier (that side is the heavy ball), or both weigh the same (the heavy ball is the third one, which you didn't weigh).The key here is to understand that the scale can distinguish 3 cases, not just 2.As a first step, put 3 balls on one side, and 3 on the other.

If you have 12 pennies and 1 penny a dud. you have 3 tries to weight the pennies and find the odd penny.?
Assuming the dud penny is lighter than a true penny. Using balance scales, pick 6 pennies at random and put them on one side of the scale and put the remaining 6 on the other side. Take the 6 pennies from the low side of the balance scales and put them aside. They are all good pennies.Take the 6 pennies from the light (high) side (the dud penny is among these 6), and separate them ramdomly into two stacks of 3 pennies each and place a stack on the left side and a stack on the right side.Take the three pennies from the low side again and set them aside since all these are "good" pennies. Of the 3 remaining pennies, two are good (heavy) and one is dud (too light).Of these remaining 3, take one and put it on the left side of the scale and put another on the right side of the scale, and hold the third penny in your hand. If the left side of the scale balances with the right then the dud penny is the one you're holding. If the left side is higher than the right then the bad penny in the one on the left side. If the right side is higher than the left, the penny on the right side is the bad penny.If it is unknown if the dud penny is lighter than a true penny or heavier than a true penny, this solution is not a solution.
