The Ring Problem
Hello,
Try solving this problem: You have 10 stacks of rings in front of you. Each stack has 10 rings. In one stack, the rings weigh 0.9 grams each. In the other nine stacks the rings weigh 1 gram each. You have a weighing scale that measures in grams. You have one chance to place however many rings on the weighing scale. You have to place all the rings on simultaneously, though. From this single measurement, you can tell which stack has the odd rings. How do you accomplish this? (Please use the spoiler tags for your answer.) |
