You have ten boxes; each contains nine balls. The balls in one box weigh 0.9 kg; the rest weigh 1.0 kg. You have one weighing on an accurate scale to find the box containing the light balls. How do you do it?

Nếu là thùng giấy , bỏ cái nào vào nước thì chìm cái đó xuống như vậy làm sao biết
Try to use an accurate scale to weigh, just 1 weigh to find out which box contain 10 lighter balls

Take 1 ball from box 1, 2 balls from box 2, ..., 9 balls from box 9. Weight all of them together. If all the balls weight 1 kg, the total should be 45 kg.
So if the lighter balls is in box 1, then the total weight is only 44.9 kg. Box 2 if the weight is 44.8...and if the weight is exactly 45, then the lighter balls are in box 10.

read the question again. 1 box = 1Kg only 1/10 box = 0.9kg.
