Mar 3, 2023 at 18:55 comment added Retudin @KrisVanBael Yes, all those loose ends... now I wonder if I should have posted my strategy/a very partial solution as stimulus. - Don't look at it, you may have a better strategy. - But you have to solve it quickly for the bonus, hurry. :-)
Mar 3, 2023 at 17:41 comment added Kris Van Bael Darn you, @Retudin ;-) Now that's a 2nd weekend that this puzzle will haunt me. I think I'm onto a 7 move solution... but still have to work out many loose ends.

Feb 27, 2023 at 12:36 comment added Retudin That reasoning is flawed, let's see if someone saves me the trouble of proving it.
Feb 24, 2023 at 7:12 comment added Retudin This is a great puzzle. I almost skipped it because it disguises as just a bigger and thus more tedious balance scale puzzle. If you know it is solvable in 7, perhaps you should hint at that. (I would be disappointed if my current answer got accepted)

Feb 16, 2023 at 15:05 comment added Pumbaa A pretty tangled situation: The offsets of two fake coins might cancel each other out, making the total weight of both equal to two genuine coins.
Feb 16, 2023 at 14:50 comment added Bernardo Recamán Santos Yes, do go ahead!
Feb 16, 2023 at 14:46 comment added garakchy Can we assume that fake coins weigh the same? At least for one alternative solution let's assume fake coins weigh the same. And for another alternative solution let's assume those fake coins weigh different. Can we do it to simplify the solution? Thanks.
