I was thinking were Mr and Mrs Jones short. They needed a lightbulb changed and they didn't have a ladder of anysort. Mrs Jackson on the other hand was of a normal hight and could reach the lightbulb to change it. |

| Both Mr and Mrs Jones are signing an important document (divorce papers maybe) and they needed someone to witness their signing of the documents, to prove that both of them did in fact sign the documents, they asked old Mrs Jackson to be there as the witness. | |||

| The other answer has the use of both sides of the scale in which case there are four weights needed 1 3 9 and 27. This is because you can not only work by adition but also by subtraction of weights which therefore allows the numbers which are in between but cannot be achieved by simple addition. | |||

| And 5 points to LA _____Score_____ Jagori - 35 NSNick - 20 Felix - 18 Lost Auzzie - 14 blackfire - 8 Kefka - 7 Edsgravy0 - 5 Disch/Slash Dafter - 4 neotransotaku - 2 _______________ Puzzle 39(5 points) A weighty Problem, The Second Coming This problem is downright devilish. You have an equalarm balance and 12 solid balls, all of which are exactle the same size, density, shape, and color. Only one of them is lighter or heaver than the rest. You can weigh only balls against the other balls on the scale. Can you find the odd ball, AND tell if it is lighter or heavier in only 3 weighings. I will seriously give 10 points to the next person if they can give me the correct answer on their first try. |
