Re: A game strategy. Weighing coins.

CB!

Naughty you -- you gave it away.

If I'm not in error, there are, at least, two algorithms for determining in
two trials (weighings).

An eleven pan balance would do it in one trial.

bc

If it were the 12th (unweighed) coin that was different, how would this one
weighing tell you if it were lighter or heavier than the rest?
