[QUOTE="Nasma, post: 1350992, member: 4505"] You have ten piles of ten coins. One stack is known to be entirely counterfeit. A normal coin weighs 10g and a counterfeit coin weighs 11g. What is the minimum amount of weighings required to determine which pile is the fake one? How is this done? Make one word by swapping around the letters in "new door" A man walks one mile south, then one mile east, then one mile north, ends up where he started and shoots a bear. What colour is the bear? The adventurers win a competition and it is now prize time. There are three locked chests, one of which contains ~insert kickass item~ while the other two are empty. The group is then asked to choose which chest they would like to win. After this has been done, the person in charge opens one of the other two chests, showing it to be empty and eliminating it from the available choices. He then states "for only 100gp, I will let you change your choice to the other remaining chest". Should the adventurers take him up on his offer. [spoiler] One weighing, put one coin from pile one, two coins from pile two, etc... on the scales. If the weight is one gram more than it should be, then it is the first pile, 2 grams more then it is the second pile... "one word" white, he was standing on the north pole. Please, noone point out that there are actually an infinate amount of places he could be standing close to the south pole. Yes, if they change then there is two in three change of getting it right [/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
