Which One Is The Lightest.

location~ Last Stay in this Office.
thought~ MAN asked me this last nite, he got the answer in 5 minutes, and I managed to get the answer only after several tips given. Dumb.

1 scale.

2 chances of using the scale.

8 marble balls, one out of eight weight 1 gram lighter than others.

Which marble ball is the lightest?

    ai, just pulling your leg only.

    the answer I know just by looking at the question for few seconds.

    You see ar..

    the eight marbles…all made from clear plastic and weigh exactly 100 grams each. the one lightest is the the clear one…because no need to add 1 gram of coloring.
