Journey to the Center of the Earth Hints

Solution #2

  • 1 of 3: This method worked for me at least 12 times, and I tried to work through the majority of the variable combinations.  If you follow my guide exactly as I've written it here, you should be able to solve it.  But, I'm only human and can make mistakes ... so if I have mistyped one of the steps, and you're sure you followed them exactly, please contact me.
  • 2 of 3: For the First Weighing, put 4 balls on each tray.  Place balls 1, 2, 3, 4 on the left tray and 5, 6, 7, 8 on the right tray.  Click on the flat middle lever to weigh them.  The red triangle light verifies the result (left heavy, even, or right heavy).  Make a note of your results.  The 2nd and 3rd weighings will be based upon this.
  • 3 of 3: If both sides are EVEN (level), you can eliminate everything you weighed (balls 1 through 8) as okay (not different).

    If EITHER SIDE is HEAVY (left or right are down), 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the ones you did NOT weigh) all weigh the same and can be eliminated.
