Answer / ventola
Divide 8 balls in 3 groups (3,3,2)
(weigh 1st) the first set (a=3, b=3) if a is less then take
randomly pick 2 balls from set 'a' and weigh them (2nd time)
again. if they are equal then the odd man out is the one
with less weight or the less side is the one.
if sets a & b are equal then weigh set c (=2)

Answer / shrikant
people...
listen
this is the case of optimisation....
if u take 4 balls set then u end up in 3 tries...
if u take 3 3 2 set...
then try and see
frst weight 3..3
u no the unbalanced one...
select that set and put any two random balls in both pans...
if equal the ball not put in is the ball of concern...
else we are left with the other set...
that can be done easily..
2 balls each in one pan...
thats it

Answer / shravan
to each pan on the weigh balance...keep four balls & the
set that has less weight has to be seperated in to 2 sets
of two each & then the same measurement is taken to find
the set with less weight. Then select the light weight set
& use each ball in weigh balance pans & the ball with less
weight is the Odd Ball
