Marble scale puzzle.

If they balance then 2 is a different light marble. 3 you are allowed to use set the scale twice in total. These differ from puzzles that assign weights to items in that only the relative mass of these items is relevant. You can perform up to a maximum of three weighings to find out which marble has the different weight and if it is heavier or lighter than the others.

All of the marbles look the same. But don t think this is just a kids game. Your task is to identify the unusual marble and discard it. A balance puzzle or weighing puzzle is a logic puzzle about balancing items often coins to determine which holds a different value by using balance scales a limited number of times.

How would you find the heaviest marble if you are only allowed to weigh the marbles 2 times using the balance scale. Because if we know that the marbles on the scale weigh the same then we also know that the heaviest marble is one of the marbles not on the scale so we can. You are allowed to use the scales three times if you wish but no more. As long as you have the same number of marbles in each side the heavy marble has just enough weight to tip the scale to its side.
