A king got a gift of twelve golden balls
Although all of the balls looked identical, one of these balls was either heavier or lighter than the other balls.
The king was upset and couldn’t figure out which of the twelve balls was different.
He decided that whoever could determine which ball was different and whether it’s heavier or lighter than the other balls in only three trials using a scale, would get the privilege to marry the king’s only daughter.
Thousands of men tried from all over the kingdom. Finally a handsome and clever peasant was able to solve the riddle and proposed to the king’s daughter.
Not only did he become the king’s son in law, but the clever peasant got to keep the twelve golden balls
Would you like to give it a try?
