You have eight identical-looking marbles, seven are are the same weight, one is slightly heavier.

You are given a balance which you may use exactly twice. How do you identify the slightly heavier marble with 100% certainty?

A balance is two sides, right? Like Libra scales?

Are you doing it with actual marbles? Smile

Put 6 marbles in the scale, 3 on each side.

If the original measure is balanced, weigh remaining 2 to see which is heavier and you have your answer.

If the original measure is not balanced, weigh 2 of the 3 marbles from the heavier side.

If those are balanced, the heavy marble was the one left out.

If they are unbalanced, you've found it on the heavier side.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

Sure, I'll go next.



500 is at my end and my start, yet 5 is at my heart.
The first letter and the first number make me complete.
My name is that of a king.

What am I?
