I propose we delay celebrations until the weekend.

And... um... ouch? That's a hell of a nap.

I went to sleep at 11 AM. I don't call that a nap (8 hr)

My university retired both Blackboard and WebCT usage campuswide and instead switched to their own ICON (Iowa Courses Online). It's pretty nice, I've had no problems thus far and have used it for multiple classes, both this semester and last.

2) Given 27 standard metal weights, and the knowledge that one of the weights is heavier than the others, how can you find the heavier ball given only 3 weighings?

---

• Split them into three groups of 9 balls: A, B, and C.
  
• Weigh A against B.
  
  • If one of them is heavier, that set contains the heavier ball.
    
  • If they weigh the same, C contains the heavier ball.
• Split the set containing the heavier ball into three sets of 3 balls: D, E, and F.
  
• Weigh D against E.
  
  • If one of them is heavier, that set contains the heavier ball.
    
  • If they weigh the same, F contains the heavier ball.
• Take the set containing the heavier ball and label the balls G, H, and I.
  
• Weigh G against H.
  
  • If either ball is heavier, that is obviously the heavier ball.
    
  • If they weigh the same, I is the heavier ball.
