Answer / siddhartha
@Monu, even if 9 stones are there, only two weighings are
required...
In general, in n weighings, you can determine the heavier
stone out of 3^n stones...
If 9 stones are there...
3---3---3
weigh the first two... if one is heavy, take that group,
else take the third group of three...
In this group of three thus taken, weigh any two. If any of
them if heavy, that is the stone.
Else the remaining one stone is the heavier one... :)

Answer / shilpa
divide the stones into 4 and 4, weight it find which is
heavy. Consider which is high weighted and then again
divide those stones into 2 and 2, weight it find which is
hevy. consider which is high in weight and weigh the
remaining 2 weights and thus highest weighed is found. Thus
Answer is 3.

In a kingdom far far away, the King decided that the time has come to find a husband for his princess daughter. The King wanted to find a worthy lad for his princess, so he promised to give his daughter away to the first young (or old) man who would solve the puzzle that has stumped the best of his court mathematicians for years. The puzzle is very simple: in a palace, there are 25 rooms arranged in a square--5 rows of rooms with 5 rooms in each row. In every room there is a light switch which not only switches on/off the light in that room, but also switches the lights in the adjacent rooms--the room to the right, to the left, the room above and the room below. Initially, all of the lights are turned off. The goal is to turn the lights on in every room of the palace.

A, B and C are three points on a straight line, not necessarily equidistant with B being between A and C. Three semicircles are drawn on the same side of the line with AB, BC and AC as the diameters. BD is perpendicular to the line ABC, and D lies on the semicircle AC. If the funny shaped diagram between the three semicircles has an area of 1000 square cms, find the length of BD.

You have 9 marbles. 8 marbles weigh 1 ounce each, & one marble weighs 1.5 ounces. You are unable to determine which is the heavier marble by looking at them. You have a weighing scale that consists of 2 pans, but the scale is only good for 2 total weighings. How can you determine which marble is the heaviest one using the scale & in 2 weighings?
