Everyday's Riddle thread
Post some riddles and people have to guess them - quite easy.
Rules:
- they have to have a logical and comprehensible solution
- no shitposting (I'd at least appreciate a minimum)
- attempts at an answer have to be put in a spoiler
- solutions (by the riddle author and any else) have to be marked as such and put in a spoiler
Let's start with a simple one:
[i]Suppose you had 8 billiard balls, and one of them was slightly heavier, but the only way to tell was by putting it on a scale against another. You can use the scale only two times to find the heavier ball. How do you do it?[/i]

Edited by Jim SWAT 01: 6/16/2015 6:42:11 PMSolution to OP's (Atticus) riddle: [spoiler] You put 3 balls on each side, and leave 2 balls out. If the sides are of even weight, you take the 2 balls left out and weigh them against each other to find the heavier ball. If they are of uneven weight, you take 2 balls from the heavier side and weight them against each other. If the sides are uneven, you have found the heavier ball. If the 2 balls are of even weight, the ball you left out is the heavier ball.[/spoiler]
