Curse you, 2kidsmom. That was not so tough, I guess.

OK, here is another one.

You have a scale and eight balls. One ball has a different weight than the other seven. It could be lighter or heavier.

You have THREE tries to determine which ball is of a different weight.

Ha ha!!!

Divide them in half three times. the heavier group has the heavier ball. the third time tells you which ball it is.

Nope. You have to account for all contingencies.

The problem is quite simple. You are given 8 identical-looking balls, one of which is heavier than the other 7 (all of which weigh the same). Using an old-fashioned mechanical set of scales you must identify the heavier ball using the scale as few times as possible. The scale is constructed using two bowls and an arm enabling the bowls to either balance or have one bowl rising while the other (and heavier bowl) falling. You can't just add one ball at a time thinking its one weighing, however, you may put any number of balls in each bowl...

Oh, you said lighter or heavier. Same principal,. Wait. I see the problem. You may have me stumped. Hmmm. Nope. you're too smart for me. I got down to the last cut, but couldn't get to the final ball.

Right, you can do so in FOUR tries, but it is difficult in three. Keep plugging away.

2KidsMom, you can't "google" this puzzle. Tee hee.

I mean try to google this puzzle. This puzzle is deeper than google. You can't find this one. As sexy as you are, even your hot sex appeal will not help you solve this puzzle.

I hate to break up this interesting dialogue, but thus far, no answer to the puzzle.
