You are given 5 bags. There are 10 beads in each of the bags. In four of the bags, the beads each weigh 10 kilograms. In the remaining bag, each bead weighs only 9 kilograms. All the bags and beads look identical. You must find out which bag has the lighter beads. The problem is that all the bags look identical and all the beads look identical. You can use a scale, but it has to be a single-tray scale, not a two-tray balance scale. Also, you may use the scale only once. How can you find out which bag has the lighter beads?
The one who comes up with the solution gets 10 points. Good luck ;)

Put all the bags on the scale and remove them one by one. When it drops by more then 100 then you just removed the lightest one! Just hope it's a people scale and not the kitchen counter type ;-)
