A Weighty Problem 1999-06-17
From A parent:
When using a balance scale, weights can be placed on either side of the scale. For example, if a 10 pound weight provides a counter balance to an object and a 7 pound weight, then the object must weigh 3 pounds. What four weights can be used to weigh objects of 1, 2, 3 ... 38, 39, 40 pounds?
