Guild Wars 2

you have 10 looking identical coins(but all differ for weight) and a 2 pan balance, you need to weight all of them every time. 5 vs 5.
how do you proceed to know exactly who weight more than others?

if you can solve this I think you can understand this MM.

First of all, theres lots of coins, so every time i’ll just grab a random handful.

>Treat them all the same at the start
>Gradually, start working out which ones weigh more when they ‘win’ the balance
>Separate the coins based on their weights, into ‘divisions’
>Balance the heavy ones with the other heavy ones
>Balance the light ones with the other light ones
>Ignore the cries of the light ones that they can’t get the backpiece
>Achieve balance after enough time

Nope you Can have an heavy One in light divison.

This is way over-simplifying the problem. Part of the problem is that you scale can’t weigh things accurately.

Works even if the balance is not correctly set…you need to mix the coins every time.is the only logical way to know all relative weights.
