You have 12 diamonds. They all look exactly the same the only way to differenciate them is by weight... there is a fake among them. It weighs differently.
You have a balance. You get to weigh the diamonds 3 times - however you want, and you have to figure out which is the fake.

Did you guys look it up, or did you actually figure it out?

I couldn't figure it out.. I was told the answer.

I really broke out the balance and 11 diamonds... the fake diamond was a penny
