If the weighing tool is a digital measurement (not a balance instrument). My answer is 1 try.

My solution:

First you must collect the necessary balls from each box in an order like this:

collect 1 ball from box 1
collect 2 balls from box 2
collect 3 balls from box 3
collect 4 balls from box 4 &
collect 5 balls from box 5

Total balls you have collected is 15 balls.

To determine which box contains the 90 grm balls, you must
weigh all the 15 balls in the digital measurement. If the
result of measurement is:

5*90 + 100*10 then the answer is the 5th box
4*90 + 100*11 then the answer is the 4th box
3*90 + 100*12 then the answer is the 3rd box
2*90 + 100*13 then the answer is the 2nd box
1*90 + 100*14 then the answer is the 1st box

Answer / paul

Minimum is 1 try and maximum is 2 tries. That is, assuming that all boxes contain same quantity of coins each.

verify...

First, lets label the boxes a,b,c,d and e.
Then measure and balance a+b if equals to c+d.

Condition 1
If the 4 boxes balanced, then box e has the 90gm coins. Thus, answering promptly with only 1 try (Minimum).

Condition 2
If (a+b) < (c+d), then it can be observed that either box a or b has the 90 gm coins. Thus, balancing again box a vs b will give you the box with the 90 gm coins, that is, with the lower weight between the 2 boxes. Thus, obtaining the answer with 2 tries.

Condition 2
If (a+b) > (c+d), then it can be observed that either box c or d has the 90 gm coins. Thus, balancing box c against box d will give you the box with the 90 gm coins, that is, with the lower weight between the 2 boxes. Thus, obtaining the answer with 2 tries.

A man is going to an Antique Car auction. All purchases must be paid for in cash. He goes to the bank and draws out $25,000. Since the man does not want to be seen carrying that much money, he places it in 15 evelopes numbered 1 through 15. Each envelope contains the least number of bills possible of any available US currency (i.e. no two tens in place of a twenty). At the auction he makes a successful bid of $8322 for a car. He hands the auctioneer envelopes number(s) 2, 8, and 14. After opening the envelopes the auctioneer finds exactly the right amount. How many ones did the auctioneer find in the envelopes?

At the entrance to a members club stands a stranger seeking admission. A friend told him that it's easy to get in. You just have to answer a question corrcetly! Answering wrong, however, will result in being shot! To live a little longer, the man waits in a back alley near the entrance for people to go in. After a while a man comes to the entrance. The door warden asks him: "Twelve?" to which he replies "Six!" and goes in. "That's easy." our friend thinks, but he waits a little longer. Another man comes to the door. "Six?" the door warden asks, to which he replies "Three!" and goes in. "That's too good to be true" our friend thinks, and he was right. Because, when asked "Four?", he answered "Two!" and was found dead in the alley. What was the correct answer?
