Balls You have nine balls, and a set of balance scales. All nine balls are identical in appearance. One ball is a different weight (it could be heavier or lighter). What is the minimum number of measurements you need to take to be certain which ball is different?

Actually no, 2. Divide into three groups of three. Measure two groups against each other. If they balance then it's the one you didn't measure. Then measure two balls from the heaviest group. So 2 measurements.

@Weirdwolf 😷😷 as @Seamonster said, divided into 3 groups. Measure first group and second. If balanced, then randomly choose 2 balls from the third group. If matched, last one is the diff one. If didn't, wight again. 3 times at least? But it maybe wrong...

@Weirdwolf 9 divided by 3 is 3, halved is 1.5. No .5's in equal measurements, the answer is 3
