12 coins 2010-07-07
From Eden:
We have 12 coins same in size and shape and also weight. But among these, one coin which has same size and shape, but not in weight and we can't know that this coin was lighter or heavier. We must decide which coin was lighter or heavier among these 12 coins in 4 times of weighting with scale.
