sorry slim the dude , In the 27 balls the odd ball may be either heavier or lighter. with regards eskay ... ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - sooooo many all-new ways...
I think it's impossible in general (but I could be confused about it!). Pr: Since the odd ball can be one of 27 and either heavier or lighter, there are 54...
Maybe I should add: If you get "equal" conditions on all prior weighings, there will be a supply of balls which are known to have the proper weight and can be...
It was shown earlier that the strategy for for picking the numbers from -4 to 4 so that three of the numbers add to zero is equivalent to Tic Tac Toe and a 3x3...
After thinking about this problem, it occured to me that this needed to be modified. The original TTT zero-sum for 3x3 is correct, but not for any grid...
Actually, the square only need be panmagic, so zero-sum games for any size grid are for n>3 where n is the number of numbers that add to zero. ... needed ... ...
If you divide the 27 balls into three groups of 9, G1, G2 and G3, and G1 is the heaviest, then weighing G1 against G2, and then against G3, should be enough to...

What happens if you roll a 6 AND a 5 on your first roll? DO you then have two more throws (of the three dice) to get the 4? If you get a 6, a 5 and a 4 on...
