There are 8 billiard balls, and one of them is slightly
heavier, but the only way to tell was by putting it on a
weighing scale against another. What's the fewest number of
times you'd have to use the scale to find the heavier ball?

Answer / dilip kumar
2 times should be fine. split the 8 balls into 3, 3 and 2.
Incase the hevier one is in one of the set, place the 3
balls each to weigh and find the heavier pan and pick them
weight two of the three in each pan. incase the two balls
are equal, then the one in hand is heavier.
From case 1. if both the three sets are equal, weight the
other two balls one in each pan and you can find the
heavier one.
Thus 2 times you may have to use the wieghing pan

Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack. Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0- move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2- move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top
