A

PUZZLE

International superspy James
Cummerbund has been captured by the

evil Dr. Maybe, who has poisoned our
hero’s drink.

Dr. Maybe has given Cummerbund a
chance to save his own life, by choosing

one of seven vials, only one of which
contains the antidote. All of the vials

weigh the same, except for the one
containing the antidote, which weighs a

little bit more. James has been provided a
balance scale, which he is only permitted

to use two times.

How can our hero identify the one that

weighs more on a balance scale, using that
scale no more than two times?
