You have six weights. One pair is red, one pair white, one pair blue. In each pair one weight is a trifle heavier than the other one but otherwise appears to be exactly like its mate. The tree heavier weights (one of each color) all weigh the same. This is also true of the three lighter weights. In two separate weighings on the balance scale, how can you identify which is the heavier weight of each pair?
Please consider that this is a balance taht does not tell you the weight, just which one is heavier adn which is lighter. Please complete the problem. While I did get some good help before, I am so exhausted from writing an essay and I really cannot understand it unless someone gives a full explanation.
