Not necessarily to being unable, just too lazy to stay with it.

I rendered it down to what it really was:
A sorting exercise with 2 weighings using 8 pieces... then hit zero on my "Give-A-****" Meter.

Congrats to Running for posting an interesting puzzle and to you as well.
Both of you have good sticktoit-ness!  Image
Credit to runningwithscissors for that one. I surrendered for the same reasons YOU named - the old give a **** meter. But running didn't let me quit - said he'd hold off and give me another go at it. And my pride kicked in.

I said **** it - I'm gonna solve this bastard of a puzzle...

See the op setup a 0-9 riddle, the solution is a 1-10 step methodology not including the percentages right of a decimal point. of 1.0 whole filled with intellectual loopholes.

I get your method of 4 x 4 in the first step when equal you eliminated the odd so step two is place the remaining 4 2x2 and left or right will hold the odd marble heavier or lighter. don't mix hindsight with foresight you only get lost honoring possibilities life is more than genetically being eternally separated now.

Devil is in the details lived by intellect alone..

see my brain navigates space as well as it does contextual ideas because I don't surrender to possibilities while the corrupted dictate my social behavior cradle to grave through rule of law consensus damning anyone not taking a side in alternate realities played out ancestrally here..

Damn, I would almost think that YOU were the one who solved it, omh.

Thanks for explaining that to us.

sarcasm is something I do when facing 7.5 billion others ignoring how living actually evolves in plain sight. You know catch 22 means to an end goal of using a no win situation promising two possible win win outcomes using methods of commanding the corrupted demanding equal results forward from here.

I did solve it by showing it was an intellectual setup to keep people obeying possibilities without completely understanding what isn't physically possible.

I was heading in the same sort of direction as you laid out.
Namely, determining whether the weight was plus or minus before even knowing which marble was the culprit.

But, life got in the weigh  :rolleyes:  

I was distracted and just forgot about it; then saw your several long posts with combinations and false starts.
Figured you'd get there before me anyway if I ever did solve it... so, **** it.

I'm back to pondering the seeding of the human race by Ancient Aliens... :wave:  
Please seat yourself.

Oh.

I solved it, too - but by meeting the prescribed challenges. 

I TOLD RWS there was more than one way to solve it. You're proof of that, I guess.  :LOL:

you defend relative time facts, I am trying to protect real time results. eternal conflicting opinion resulting instincts as conceived vs intellect developed ancestrally after birth.

That's why we "solved" it differently.

I have the "silver" one as well which is supposed to be more difficult, but won't even fool with that one until I get this one open.

Below is a puzzle by German puzzle maker Rainer Popp which I would some day love to buy and give a try...

Rainer Popp makes 15 different kinds of locks which require many secret steps you must discover to open. 

Is anyone else into this kind of thing?

Haven't ran into one I couldn't undo but it isn't because I enjoy them.

It's because I will not be defeated.

More strong evidence of Sumerian contact with advanced beings:

Their environment was extremely tricky - not at all like the environment of every other ancient civilization, in that the waters were extremely unpredictable and required both irrigation and flood control. There was no stone or lumber, so they had to make bricks. Historians can track the EVOLUTION of other ancient societies. That of Sumer - the oldest of all - was quite obviously terraformed.

Then there is the literature. Much of the surviving literature is detailed instructions advising the priests how to feed and care for the "gods." Historians are very clear that the city states in the fertile crescent were - each and every - owned and controlled by different "gods" - one "god" family to a city. 

The jump from paleolithic to neolithic is typically transitioned into through a mesolithic period. This period is entirely skipped by the sumerians. Sumer did not evolve - it was terraformed.

ha ha ha ha ha ha, factual life defined artificially and actual living genetically here. one does survive without the other and the other doesn't last unless denial thrives ancestrally forward until extinct arrives.

The most important thing about the Sumerians was their counting system. Sexagesimal! Like i said it's based on 12 and 60. Not 10, like our fingers have and the Egyptians created. That's called "decimal". 

No, the first civilization known on the planet were the Sumerians, circa 4000 BC, and they created math, writing, science, astronomy, astrology, and just about everything we consider "modern society". 

But their counting system was so advanced, based on 12 and 60, that we can't understand that today with equations. Yeah, we use it in our clocks, and degrees, and many things, but we don't really understand it and cannot calculate with it.

Multiply 12:30 by 6:45..... You can't do it. But they could! And they told us that everything they learned were taught to them by the Anunnaki.

So I have a theory... That the Anunnaki had 12 fingers, and therefore that's why they taught that counting system to our 10-fingered ancestors....


They were the 6-fingered men!

EN.LIL hated us and wanted to make us different so we can be recognized vs the Anunnaki, bc we were so close.

So EN.KI made us 5-fingered, to mark us as humans and not like them.

EN.LIIL continued to hate us, and EN.KI continued to protect us, and thus secret societies were formed, most importantly the "Brotherhood of the Snake".

This is a puzzle greater than any, and it is about our lives, and our future, and there is no solution for us, unless we solve it. And create a new government.

I'm going to tell you where it came from... and how it became the current false "religion", and where we really should be.

Let's understand the Brotherhood of the Snake... And what it was and then what it became. Because what it became is not something to worship. It became the beginnings of freemasonry controlled by EN.LIL and no longer EN.KI. 

What it was, was something great, that we'll get into later.

I Ching arrived 1,000 years before that. In genetic time that is 50 generations if one uses 20 years as average cycle between being a reproduction and reproducing another generation or not.

I am an exception to that, since my parents were 30 years old when I was born, I was 35 when my first child arrived, my children didn't parent a child until 35.

My siblings had their first before 19 and 18 years old. there children became parents before 20 years old, their children became parents before 20 years old.

I instinctively figured out how actual time being alive works in plain sight.
