Balls with weighing scales maths game Question:  You are given a set of weighing scales and 9 identical-looking balls. However, one of the balls is slightly heavier or lighter than the others, but you don’t know whether it’s heavier or lighter. Using the scales only twice, how can you identify the odd ball and determine whether it’s heavier or lighter than the others? Answere: 1. Divide the 9 balls into 3 groups of 3 balls each. 2. Weigh two of the groups against each other: • If the scales balance, the odd ball is in the third group. • If one side is heavier, the odd ball is in that group. 3. Take the group containing the odd ball and divide it into 3 individual balls for the second weighing. 4.

Password Hacking problem Question:   You have a digital lock with a keypad consisting of digits from 0 to 9. The password is a 4-digit number, and each digit is unique. You know that the password contains the digits 1, 2, 3, and 4, but you don’t know the order. You have 10 attempts to guess the password correctly. After each attempt, the lock will display how many digits are correct and in the correct position (denoted as “bulls”) and how many digits are correct but in the wrong position (denoted as “cows”). How can you deduce the correct password within the 10 attempts? Answer: 1. Start by guessing any 4-digit number that contains the digits 1, 2, 3, and 4 in any order (e.g., 1234, 4321, etc.). 2. After each guess, note down the number of bulls and cows. 3. Use the feedback from each guess to refine your next guess. For example: • If you get 4 bulls, you’ve guessed the correct password. • If you get 0 bulls and 0 cows, none of the digits in your guess are correct,
