okay three iq problems in increasing difficulty...
1. you have 9 balls, one ball is heavier than the rest. you have a balance/scale. you can only use it twice. how can you find the heavier ball?
2. you have a bridge at night with only one flashlight. at one end you have four people. the first person takes 1 minute to walk across, the second takes 2 minutes, the third takes 5 minutes and the last takes 10 minutes. if there is only one flashlight and only 2 people can cross the bridge at once, what is the fastest way to get all four people across? (you must be with the flashlight to be on the bridge)
3. you have twelve balls, one ball is a different weight from the rest. you do not know whether it is heavier or lighter. you have a balance/scale. can you find the irregular ball in 3 moves?
now the last one took me about 10-15 minutes. heh. the first two are rather simple. have fun!
