Answer / monika
In 2 iterations we can find one coin that is heavier out of 8 coins.
First take any 2 coins out of 8 coins then remaining is 6 coins from this u can we can have 2 solution.
i) divide 6 coins into 2 parts of 3 each then weigh them, one set of 3 coins will be heavier if it has heavy coin then from that 3 coins take one out and weigh remaining two
if both are equal then the remaining coin is heavy.
ii) weigh 2 coins and which is heavy we can find out.

Hi, Wareagle, if this is done then it takes 3 iterations, but my can be done in 2 iterations,
suppose if the heavy weight coin is in one of the 2 which i divided first then when u weigh 2 stacks of 3 coins in shows equal weight then we can leave that and weigh and the remaining 2 coins from this we can find which is heavier.

Answer 1 is incorrect. Suppose the heavy coin is in the
first two coins you removed from the stack of 8.
1. Divide the coins into 2 groups of 4 and weigh each stack.
one stack will be heavier. 2.Take the heavier stack of 4
coins and divide into 2 stacks of 2 coins each. Weigh the 2
stacks. 3.One will be heavier. Take the 2 coins left and
weigh them. Take out the heavier of the 2 coins.

In the middle of the confounded desert, there is the lost city of "Ash". To reach it, I will have to travel overland by foot from the coast. On a trek like this, each person can only carry enough rations for five days and the farthest we can travel in one day is 30 miles. Also, the city is 120 miles from the starting point. What I am trying to figure out is the fewest number of persons, including myself, that I will need in our Group so that I can reach the city, stay overnight, and then return to the coast without running out of supplies. How many persons (including myself) will I need to accomplish this mission?
