Okay, so take one coin out of each. Then I guess, put one in each bag, weigh one of the bags. If the bag weighs 11.1, it's the one with the fake coin in it. If it weighs 11, they are all real coins. If they are both 11, the one that you took the coins out of is the bag with the fake gold in it.
Is that right?

sharpsh0t · 23 Oct 2004, 9:50 AM EDT

First you empty all of the bags and keep them in thier bags accordingly. Then you take one of the bags and put one pile of coins in it. Measure it. Empty the bag and then replace with a new pile. Repeat as many times as necessary. This way you are only weighing one bag

I thought you could only use the weight tool only once super moderatornesserson

DiStOrTiOn · 23 Oct 2004, 10:34 AM EDT

Weigh just ONE coin from each bag, once the scale is increased by an extra .1, then the bag that that coin came form is the bag with the fake coins. To make this more clearer. Take one coin from each bag and place them on the scale one at a time. I guess thats not weighing different bags . o_O
