  1. One by one put the boxes on top of each other on the scales, when the scales read a number with a decimal point, that last box is your fake one.

    The last answer was better


  2. Take a coin from each box out, marking the box and the coin with a different color permanent marker and place them all on the scale. Remove one coin at a time from the scale and note the change in weight. (1 gram or 0.9 gram ) The one that changes the weight differently from the rest will be from the box of fake coins.

    For example.

    You pick out 3 real coins ( 3g)

    and you add a fake one it will become 4.9g.

    That is DEFINITELY it.

  3. How many boxes are there? But I guess you split the boxes to 2 and put them in the scales. If it is eg:5 split to 2 and 3. and weigh them. You take the boxes which are lighter and weigh with your hands.

    Or: If there are 3 you weight 2 and if they are even the other one is fake, if one is lighter, it is fake.

  4. weigh one and if its even then its most likely the real ones ...yeah i dunno

  5. well yu culd jus open the box feel the coins cuze yu can feel if its fake or not

    well i can

    or yu culd take all coins out of oone box except one wegh it if it around 1 gram thats not fake

    or count how many coins and thats how many will show up on the weighin scale but if not then its fake

    hope yu get yur date wif crush

    gud luk

    :)

  6. Ok.

    Empty box one so there is only one coin in it.

    Take coins out of box two so there are only two coins left.

    Leave three coins in box three.

    Four in four.

    And so on.

    Put all the boxes on the scale.

    If box one has the fake the final weight will be XX.9

    If box two has the fakes it will be xx.8

    Box three will weigh xx.7

    And so forth.

    Not an original solution. It comes from a Columbo episode. That guy was pretty darn clever.

    Just one more question...


  7. Well if you can only use the scales once,

    get all your friends to grab a box and use the scales once to  and find the lightest
