Azn, How did Sardarji kill a bird??..:p

Ritthe_jasus, your flower question:

the priest comes with 7 Flowers

doubles it to 14, offers 8 to first temple: 14-8=6
doubles it to 12, offers 8 to Second temple: 12-8=4
doubles it to 8, offers 8 to Third temple: 8-8=0

Hetterika, ur the man ....... got any puzzles ??

juggy ....... did sardarji killed the bird throwing off the cliff???? just my guess .... bird doesn't die though.....

Here is a old one:

There are eight coins, they look exactly the same. One of them weighs slightly different from other seven. Now you are given a simple mechanical balance, which you can use no more than 2 times. How do you separate the different one from the pile.

i dunno ?? its so random! its like asking "why did she wear that dress"

:O

HERE IS ONE QUESTION?


YOUR PARENTS HAD A BABY IT'S NOT YOUR BROTHER NOR YOUR SISTER, WHO IS IT?

hetterika,

does the balance give weight too or justa regular beam balance ...... can we know the different one is heavier or lighter??? does the balance give wight ??? If we can know the wight i know the answer.

its you ...... neither ur brother nor ur sis

ritthe,
That is just a regular beam balance, you will not know the exact weight. Different one is heavier than the others.

"There are eight coins, they look exactly the same. One of them weighs slightly different from other seven. Now you are given a simple mechanical balance, which you can use no more than 2 times. How do you separate the different one from the pile. "

keep 2 coins aside and devide remainaing 6 coins in 2 sets of 3, put each set in two plates of balance.

If both are equal then the 2 unused ones can be weighed to find the heavier.

If one set of 3 is heavier then weigh 2 out of three, and fine the heaviest one.

you should have told earlier...... u just said different it means it can be lighter too

the soln;

wight 3 in each pan:

if it is balanced, the heavy one is in the remaing 2

if it is not balanced -

take two out and interchange 1 from the remaining 4 and weigh again

if it is balanced
the 1 you took out from the heavier side is the different one

if it is still not balanced
by interchanging you will know which one was making difference in the weight out of remaining 4

howz that?

*find

thats not possible the way u r saying....... look at my soln .... bulletproof

ohh i am sorry preeti ........ urs works fine too ....... i was trying to solve for the different weight heavier or light so came up with lng solution urs is short n sweet.

My bad Ritthe, should have said it in the question---

Nevertheless, pretty is right on!

what did you mean by --" if it is not balanced -
take two out and interchange 1 from the remaining 4 and weigh again " I am having hard time following this... take 2 out and interchange 1??

my interchange I meant from the remaining 4, put one coin from one pan to other and vice versa so that u will know which one is making the difference ........ i was looking for the soln for the coin making the diff ...... provided we don't know heavy or light ....... thats why ...... anyway enjoyed it. got more?

we can do that in 3 steps if we don't know if the different coin is heavy or light
