There is a king who posses 12 bags of glow of which one is counterfeit. ... He does not know if the counterfeit gold is heavier or lighter than the real gold. ...
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12)
Looking back to Pow 14 that involved 8 bags of gold I used the method in that provided the fewest tries as a starting point. I first divided the 12 bags in to 3 groups, each having 4 bags. ... Then I would move on to group C, I would divide the group into 2 groups of 2 bags. ... This could be done by comparing two bags on the scale and finding that they are even. ... Guessing which two bags to compare would take up a whole weighing so guessing would provided a good estimate as only 1/12 bags is counterfeit (92%).
After that I could compare to that bag to all the other bags which would give me very accurate results but I would have to do it 11 times.
