here you go:
You have 12 coins. One of these coins is a fake. It differs from the rest only by it's weight. You don't know whether it is lighter or heavier the the rest of the coins.
You also have a scale, but not the electronic one, the two-cups one, with which you can only tell which cup has more or less weight.
And you only have 3 times to weight the coins to find out which one is a fake.
Remember once again : YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE FAKE COIN IS LIGHTER OR HEAVIER THE THE REST. ONLY 3 WEIGHS.
Solve that! :))))
P.S. Took me 2 weeks to solve. I thought about every day for a couple of hours per day.
