Answer / dilip kumar

2 times should be fine. split the 8 balls into 3, 3 and 2.
Incase the hevier one is in one of the set, place the 3
balls each to weigh and find the heavier pan and pick them
weight two of the three in each pan. incase the two balls
are equal, then the one in hand is heavier.

From case 1. if both the three sets are equal, weight the
other two balls one in each pan and you can find the
heavier one.

Thus 2 times you may have to use the wieghing pan
