I'm sure this is a sorting problem where logic has pointed out that only certain balls were ever on the heavier side.
In the midst of moving 3 around, keeping track, etc. logic has determined the single ball.
Not a separate weighing.
I'm just lazy.

The problem was that you needed to end your second weighing - no matter what - with only three suspects. Doing that left 5. There was no way to leave only three suspects without mixing the trays. Leaving either tray intact left more than 3 suspects.DeezerShoove » 27 Aug 2022, 11:29 am » wrote: ↑ Well, I sort of tried. Not very hard though.
Losing interest is an interest of mine.![]()
However, taking 3 of the established controls and swapping out 3 from one side seems like a good next step.
It's 4x4 on the first and 4x4 on the second. You do have to slide 3 marbles on the 2nd turn and use your control marbles. you're so close!Cannonpointer » 27 Aug 2022, 12:18 pm » wrote: ↑ @Jantje_Smit
I think that did the trick. Gonna use hypothetical colors for clarity, so the mind's eye can track the moves.
We have 4 side a light-side suspects (reds), 4 side b heavy-side suspects (blues) and 4 controls (yellow). In two weighings, we have to find the culprit.
You pull 3 reds from light side a and replace with 2 blues and 1 yellow control, replacing the 2 blues on heavy side b with 2 yellow controls. If even, you know the odd marble is lighter and is one of the 3 sequestered reds. You weigh two of them against each other. The lighter one is the culprit - if same, the remaining sequestered red is the odd light marble.
If odd, and side a is still lighter, you know the culprit is EITHER the 1 red OR one of the the two blues from side b. Weigh the two blues against each other. The heavier blue is the culprit. If even, the lighter red is the culprit.
If odd, and side a is now heavier, it's the heavier of the 2 blues on side a.
Solved. That was a bear.
Thank you for standing up for me and giving me the opportunity to be a smart-***!
PS - I have a hunch that it did not occur to you to use colors in the explanation you gave to Jantje Smit, since you appear to have been somewhat frustrated by the arduousness of getting the solution across.
I believe that the idea to assign the 3 groups of marbles an arbitrary color actually helped me solve the puzzle, as it gave me a short-hand way of tracking and talking about the marbles to myself (yes, this puzzle had me talking to myself).
Nice try, but that fails unless you get lucky. 2nd turn is 4x4. And yo u have to move 3 mables, not 2.Cannonpointer » 27 Aug 2022, 12:18 pm » wrote: ↑ @Jantje_Smit

Your intellectual logic isn't perfect. it has rationed away a necessary bit of understanding kinetics to action and reactions compounding an ever changing balancing universe forward from here.RunningWithScissors » 28 Aug 2022, 3:53 am » wrote: ↑ So far, I've given the answer to Smitty, and two of you are really close!

What game am I playing? I describe evolving as one of a kind regardless which one is the topic of divide and conquer actual life with ways to factually believe now isn't eternity and hell will fall upon anyone not complying with general consensus of their geographical location adapting to the moment.RunningWithScissors » 28 Aug 2022, 5:40 am » wrote: ↑ I can play that game too.
Your perception of logic is flawed, because your kinetic energy is focused on reverse instead of forward, and your universe is forever compressing from this moment.

The rest of your control marbles will solve the puzzle.
You do understand I skipped step one, right?
