[carpediem]

@carpediem, di naman. pero oo nga, agree ako kay fox, gawa ka na ng compilation ng mga logic puzzles mo then have them published. :-)

Hey carpediem, I wanna try your TRUE or FALSE puzzle. Hehehe. Since I was the thread starter of that topic, I'd venture a guess. Hahaha!


The next poster's statement is false.

yeah it messes it up but not really contradictory? good one ctan and carpediem.

what if the answer is "tralse"?

[carpediem]

eto medyo madali lang:

There are 27 identical-looking coins, but one of them is counterfeit and is lighter (you just can't tell by holding the coins). You are provided a platform balance.

What is the best strategy to find the counterfeit coin? What is the least number of times you have to use the platform balance?

uu nga noh. ina-antok yata ako kagabi ng mag skim ko for this question. cge, erase ko nlng. isip ako ng iba.

[Luc]

^27 coins:

divide them in factors of 3. 3 batches of factors 3. first 9 against 2nd 9 or 3rd 9. first 3 against 2nd & 3rd 3. then down to 3 coins. If you're lucky you'll get the right coin in 3 tries.

[Luc]

^magkaparehas tayo ng sagot, carp. para sa akin, tama nalang din! pero mas interesting lang ang sagot niya.
