See the funniest part about that is that I looked at your avatar right after I read that and it looks like he did too.
Well you could split them, but you'd always have an uneven amount. And seeing as you can only use the balance scale twice...your screwed.
Man you made like 5 threads in the past two days. You are on a roll. Are you trying to beat me? Just try and i will unleash the power of Taras! You know me.
Weigh 3 on each side and leave 3 off the scale. Take the cluster of 3 balls that are suspect, and weigh one ball on each side with one set aside. This will tell you which ball it is.
I'll go ahead and answer it. Split the balls into three groups of 3 X X X X X X X X X Ok, take one group of three and the second group of 3 and put them on either side of the balance.... IF: The balance balances out, then the heavier ball was NOT in either of the two groups you chose. IF: The balance tilts, the ball is in the group of 3 balls that tilted the balance. Either way you go about it, you are left with a group of 3 balls that you are certain has the heavier ball in it. Same thing as before, choose 2 of the 3 balls in that group of 3. Put them on the balance. IF: The balance balances out, then the ball you didn't choose is the heavy one IF: The balance tilts, the tilted side is the heavy ball.
Twice a year he's flown to Amsterdam to participate in Madame Hellica's show of maggots and underlings. Look for the guy in a leather mask with pink leather boots. Can I have your autograph Jason?
NO, he stuffed it in his anus and when he poooooed them out 10o dollar bills came out of his arse.:laugh:
Well done Blackozone. And no, my job does not deal with balls. That question shows how your brain works in regards to problem solving and complex troubleshooting.
so we have the rooster, the hen, and the chicken. the rooster goes with the hen, but who has sex with the chicken???
also if you can get around the idea of a.) having 9 balls, b.)weighing them c.)knowing which is the heaviest
