Hi all and Hippy,
Hi HIE, I have loved your challenges as of late, here's one for you and no cheating anyone.
You have 8 coins, they all look exactly the same yet one of them is lighter than the other 7. You have a balance scale (the kind with 2 trays and they have to weigh the same for it the arrow to be in the middle or zero). You get to make 2 weight attempts with the coins and figure out which is the lighter coin. Can it be done? If so how?
Good luck.
