If 5 of the balls weigh the same and only 1 is lighter or heavier you can split them into 3 pairs and measure each pair. 2 of the pairs will balance out and the pair with the lighter or heavier ball will be uneven. Easiet of the puzzles so far.

First measure 3 on one side and 3 on the other. Then you know for sure on one side the lighter ball is, than you devide them in two groups one with two of the balls that were on the lighter side and one on the other side with one of the balls you already know is not lighter. If it turns out to be the one were you didn't know the weight of atleast one of the balls wheigh both og them against each other, et voila

explain that common sense of figuring out if one of them is lighter or heavier... i mean with you solution certainly a pair of balls will not be even.. so if you do find the pair wich is not even how do you know that the ball on top is lighter than or the ball on the bottom is heavier than the rest. you won't knwo that way if the different ball is heavier or lighter.. actually you wouldn't even know which of the 2 is...

where u get these puzzles from this is so simple!!! ---------this how I solve it---0=00=00=/*basically I used scale 3 times and was able to figure out 2 are even and which ever is lighter/heavier (sort of common senses)
