Yoshi 0 #1 November 17, 2004 put all of your good riddles in here! you have 8 pool balls : OOOOOOOO they are all the same color, texture, size, everything, accept one weighs just a hair lighter than the rest. you have 2 balances: _________ _________ ^ ^ each balance can only be used once before it self destructs. What is the one sure way to find out 100% which one of the pool balls is lighter? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What can you put in a barrel, it CAN be seen by the naked eye, is weightless, colorless, odorless, and tasteless, but if you put it in the barrel it will make it lighter? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -yoshi_________________________________________ this space for rent.

Yoshi 0 #4 November 17, 2004 well got most of them, but contrary to popular belief Busch Light beer WILL in fact make a barrel heavier if you put it inside.. _________________________________________ this space for rent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevJim 0 #6 November 17, 2004 Totally lost on those, which is odd for me. Mine: Take this equation and move one number to make it true. NOTE: Move is to literally pick up a digit and place it elsewhere. No addition or subtraction allowed. 102-99=1It's your life, live it!

wildblue 7 #15 November 17, 2004 Quoteyou have 8 pool balls : OOOOOOOO 3 on one side 3 on the other if balance, weight the 2 you left out against each other. If one side lifts, take those 3 and weigh 1 vs 1 - if a side goes up, it's that one. If it stays the same, it's the one you left out.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is the one sure way to find out 100% which one of the pool balls is lighter? Take two of the balls, place to one side. Split the other 6 into two 3's, place on scales. discard the heavier three balls, and the seperate two. Of the 3 remaining balls, seperate one and weight the other two. Find the lighter, or if they are the same the ligher one is the seperate one. If both sets of three are the same discard all 6, and go back to the two. Place both of these on the scales, pick the lighter of the two. I hope this makes sense, i had to think for a minute.Lee _______________________________ In a world full of people, only some want to fly, is that not crazy? http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #20 November 17, 2004 ....or....weigh Yoshi's balls on the first scale. And tell him that if he doesn't reveal which of the pool balls is lightest, the scale will self-destruct with his balls on it. I think that would work the fastest.
