Using the wrong one may trigger some trap or other nasty consequence.You are presented with 12 keys, and the instructions (from an inscription, diary, whatever... could also be presented in a semi-riddle form) tell you that the right token is the one that weights slightly differently, but you don't know if it's heavier or lighter than the others.You have a scale with 2 dishes, so you can only perform comparative weighting, and you can only perform 3 measurements.Puzzle #2"Once there were 5 orc pirates with a 1000 gp treasure to share. Starting from the lowest-ranked pirate, each of them could make a proposal about how to share the treasure. If the proposal was accepted by the majority, the treasure would be shared accordingly. If the proposal was rejected, the proponent would walk the plank, and the next pirate would make his proposal. They were all very smart, and greed was always their main motivation. Their second favorite thing beside treasure, was to see someone walk the plank.I was once the lowest-ranked pirate of that bunch, and here I am still alive... If you want to unlock the door/chest/else, put on this 5 pedestals the 5 amounts of gp I proposed on that day."</blockquote>
