If the first 4x4 don't balance, you have 4 marbles that are equal in your hand. That's the control set. If they do balance, then they're still your control set, because now you know one is different in your hand.Jantje_Smit » 27 Aug 2022, 3:33 am » wrote: ↑ It's not my failure, it's yours.... you need to prove me wrong...
But since I don't have anything better to do... well, I have better things to do but I decided the window cleaning can wait... lol...
If the first 4x4 doesn't balance that leaves you with 8 marbles with one in it that's either heavier or lighter... you can move 3 marbles around but there is no way a 3x3 weighing will leave you with 1x1 that will also tell you if the odd marble is lighter or heavier... 8-6 = 2.. so you could be left with two marbles, one of which is lighter or heavier..
As I said, I wouldn't mind being proven wrong but I doesn't look like that's going to happen...
