I would think to divide them into into three groups of 3, 3, & 2. Weigh the two groups of 3 against each other if they're equal, it is going to be one of the balls in the group with 2. If one of the group of 3's is heavier weigh two against one another. If they're the same then its the ball not weighed. There are a lot of variables not taken into consideration though that could give you the same results using other methods, I believe.
Riddles
Sort:
Here you stand at the crossroads of Bliss and Tragedy... There stands 2 beings, both of which emit an aurora of compassion, but be warned. One of which is a Liar, and will only speak lies, the other is a Man of truth, and shall only tell truth. You are a man who wishes to travel the road of Bliss. Yet, you stumble upon these two men at a fork in the road. You must ask ONE question for both of them to answer.
Using their independent answers, you must figure out which way leads to Bliss.
(You do not know which is the liar and which is the truth-speaker.)
This was inspired by someone else’s riddle, but I forgot his name.

Good job for getting it correct!

Well, thanks! To tell you the truth, I haven't stopped thinking about it since I saw it yesterday.
You ask what the other would say. The Liar would say that the Truthteller would point you to Tragedy. The Truthteller would say that the Liar would point you to Bliss. When you meet one, go the opposite way than they point.
will anybody tell me if I'm right?
this post is relatively new. why is no one answering my question? I would understand if this was ten years old, but four days old? come on!
Bill and Yash were brothers.Every day they went to a shop to drink cold drink.But the shopkeeper hated Bill.One day when they came to drink cold drink the shopkeeper thought to kill Bill so he put same amount of ice and drink.After they both finished Bill died.[Hint>Bill drinks very slow and Yash drinks very fast and Bill likes to melt ice.]

I am assuming that the question is "how did Bill die," and if so, the answer to this problem is that there was poison in the ice. Since the ice melted for Bill, the poison was released into the drink.

the egg

the egg
Why do you say that?
you did not say the egg must be from a chicken ;) anyway I believe the first chickens came from eggs of other kind of birds/dinosaurs :)
Place your most mind-baffling riddles here! We can all share riddles and brain teasers. I got one to start, and it is a bit obvious:
You have a scale and eight balls. All of them weigh the same except for one, which is heavier. If you can only use the scale twice, how can you find the heavier ball?
