Unable to understand the concept about the remaining two coins weight calculation
Comment from : @saikishore328

The easiest solution is to split it into 50,50 and 1 (as many have indicated below) The division into 3 sets is not every elegant
Comment from : @agytjax

We can also solve it by taking 50 50 coins
Comment from : @saurabhkumarsingh8962

There is a lot of possible solutions in this puzzle example to split 101 coins into 50,50,1brFirst test two 50 to 50 is there is equal another one coin is fake so test one fake coin and one geniune coin we can get the solution brbrSecond step if there is not equal two set of 50 coin, again split the one heavier 50 coins into 25,25 to test it now the test will equal the fake coin is in the another set of 50 coins and it was lighter incase second test is not equal the fake coin is heavier and is there in heavier side of 25 coins

If i have 12 coins, how many weights would I need at least?
Comment from : @alexpatroi145

Nice question and nice explanation

Why only "bro" in all the comments? Gender bias
Comment from : @Steven-ni1sx

Bro we can also put 50 50 in each case and one coin in any one case so we can find fake coin lighter or heavier
Comment from : @sigmamale1013

Hii
Comment from : @soniayadav7790

I solved it using a different approach:brWe make groups like, 50, 50, 1brNow we compare the piles of 50, 50:brCase1: They are equal in weight Thus, the last coin is the counterfeit coin, and we can compare it against any one of the other genuine coins in the second round, thus letting us know if the counterfeit coin is heavier or lighterbrCase2: One of the piles of 50 is heavier This would mean one of them contains the counterfeit coin Let's divide the heavier pile into 25, 25, and weight them against one another If they are equal, the other pile of 50 had the counterfeit coin and it was lighter If one of the piles is heavier, it contains the counterfeit coin, and the counterfeit coin is heavier than the rest

What if 1 coin out of 2 coins we taken out is fake,we need 3 trials??
Comment from : @justusece9617

In second 2 you have used only 99 coins, what if its balance is equal after two time, you can't determine it between remaining 2 coins bcz there is no other chance left So it is wrong
Comment from : @sayedsarfaraz116

Amazing bro

Comment from : @고유환-c2q

Split the coins into 3 groups of 37 Weigh a random 2 groups if weight is same, the fake is in the remaining group If not equal, choose any of the previously weighed group and exchange it with the remaining group if weight equal, the remaining group has fake If not equal, using the previous weighing comparison, we can determine the fake

What to dowhen the fake coin presentin the last set of two coins
Comment from : @vishalsp4396

Given that you have 2 uses of the scales and you only needed to determine if the fake coin is lighter/heavier, wouldn't this be possible with infinite coins?
Comment from : @AA-100

I took as 34,34 & 33
Comment from : @somberi7631

But what if the two coins set aside by us contains the fake one 🤨🤔
Comment from : @G__NikhilBhardwaj

Comment from : @sra1kumar139

Verrrrry slow 🤦🤦🤦
Comment from : @keertisharma5991

The solution in this video is wrongbrHow if on 1st weighing set 1 and set 2 equalbrAnd on set 2nd weighing, they are also the same The fake coin is on the remaining 2 coin rhat ledt out
Comment from : @faronafarriona1314

What happened to the last 2 coins?brWhat if the fake coin is in this set of 2 coins Hence the balance will b equal in both the weighing cases But since we have used up our both the chances of weighing Not it will b impossible to determine the heaviness of fake coin
Comment from : @rajatpratapsinghbisht9788

Ok If my sets of coin are 50, 50 & 1 If first case, two sets are equal, dn obviously 1 coin which is left is fake and we can weigh the 2nd term to determine its heavy or light And if 2nd case The fake coin is in first of two 50's set, dn we can say easily say by weight the fake coin light or heavy So simple, why so much confusing
Comment from : @alipnandi9964

What if those extra 2 coins had that fake coin?? 🤔
Comment from : @panikiranbharadwaj1545

Ammar can I ask you what is your job ?
Comment from : @lukaeric3359

I have an idea- make groups of 50 50 coins and break last coin
Comment from : @moumitamajumdar7116

This solution is tricky , try to understand brAnd my grammar is weak so grammatical mistakes are therebrbrFirst : like others divide the coins in set 50,50 and 1brbrWeigh the 50 and 50brEveryone knows ,if they balance equal brbrIf they weigh unequal brWe come to know the third set of only 1 coin is real brbrNow we just put that coin on the lighter set of 50 coins brbrIf weight balance show no change means the coin is heavy and is in the heavier set of 50 coins brbrAnd if lighter set of 50 coins comes down, means coin is lighter and it is now in the set of 51 coins brbrThis is my approach 🙄
Comment from : @sunilkumar-qe5tc

Puzzel 3:brbrसात चोरों ने मिलकर हीरे चुराए वो हीरों को लेकर जंगल में भाग गए, रात वोही काटने लगे दो चोरो ने सोचा की जब सब सो रहे हैं तो वो सारा हीरा आपस में बराबर बाँट कर भाग जाए लेकिन उन्होंने देखा की बराबर बांटने पर एक हीरा ज्यादा बच जा रहा हैं उन्होंने तीसरे चोर को जगाया सोचा की तीन में बराबर बाँटले लेकिन उन्होंने देखा की बराबर बांटने पर फिर से एक हीरा बच गया , उन्होंने चौथे चोर को उठाया फिर पांचवे छठे हर बार एक हीरा बच जाता जब उन्होंने सातवे चोर को जगाया तब जाके सबमे बराबर बराबर बंट पाया उन्होंने minimum कितने हीरे चुराये थे

Puzzel 2:brbrआपके पास 8 सिक्के हैं जो देखने में एक दम एक समान हैं आपको पता चलता हैं की उसमे से एक सिक्का नकली हैं , और नकली सिक्का बाकी सब सिक्को से जरा सा वज़नी है अगर आपके पास एक बैलेंस तराजू है (पर कोई बाट नहीं) आप सिर्फ 2 बार ही तौल सकते हैं तो नकली सिक्के को कैसे पहचानेंगे ?brEasy right
Comment from : @dhirajgovindvira

Looks like you forget that,brThere's 50 coins in each side in second condition
Comment from : @yuvrajsinhrana7720

Another solution,👇👇👇brDivide in 50coin, 50 coin and 1brbrCompare 50 with 50 {br1st case they equal:brIf they equal means the last one coin is fake compare one genuine coin with last remaining fake coin and you get the resultbrbr2nd case they unequal:brIf they does not equal that means fake coin is in either 1st 50 coin bunch or in 2nd 50 bunchbrTake heavy 50 bunch coin than divide them in 25 and 25 if they equal means fake coin is light in weight and if 25 and 25 coin doesnot equal means the fake coin is heavybr}
Comment from : @sachinbaranwal6987

I still don't get itbrHow to make sure the EXACTLY one fake coinbrIt's still confusing
