How do you know the guy who weighs differently is heavier?


Lighter, heavier, doesn't matter. This will give you the one that weighs differently.

ETA: NVM, mines also wrong

The solution is varied and complex (depending on variables during the first weigh-in) but here is a link to the solution (which would be TL:DR here):

Is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister?

That part would be but they would probably get you for the insurance fraud.

I feel like this is the secret. Don't even use the seesaw, it's a crutch. There has to be a better way. Can we ask them how much they weigh?



Tell them the one who weighs less is vegan. The one who weighs less won’t be able to stop himself from telling you how being a vegan made him healthier than everyone else

You can't do it in three moves without knowing whether the odd man out is heavier or lighter.

Put 6 on one side 6 on the other. After one side tilts, take those 6 guys. 3 on one side 3 on the other. After one side tilts, take those 3 guys. Then you place on 1 on one side and 1 on the other with 1 sitting on the side.

If the seesaw is even, it’s the third guy. If one side rises, it’s the other guy

This is the correct way.

Or, stop being so passive aggressive about it and ask everyone their weight. Tell them if they're honest, there's a fun seesaw ride in it for them.

My other guess is an island (or I guess technically the earth)
