The Odd Ball

About this game

The Odd Ball is a classic logic puzzle game that challenges players to identify a uniquely weighted billiard ball among twelve using a balanced scale. The twist is that the odd ball could be either heavier or lighter than the others, adding an extra layer of complexity to the problem. Heres a detailed description of the game and how to approach solving it: Game Overview: In The Odd Ball, you are presented with twelve billiard balls, all of which look identical. However, one of them has a different weight—it could be either heavier or lighter than the others. Using a balanced scale, you must determine which ball is the odd one and whether it is heavier or lighter in as few weighings as possible. How to Play: Setup: You have 12 balls labeled from 1 to 12. A balanced scale is provided to compare the weight of two groups of balls. Objective: Identify the odd ball and determine if it is heavier or lighter than the others. Use the scale strategically to minimize the number of weighings. Rules: You can only use the scale to compare groups of balls. Each weighing provides one of three results: Left side is heavier. Right side is heavier. Both sides are balanced.
