assalamua alaikum,
I have another one that's not as easy going as the first one because this is a whole new game from the first.
There are 10 medicine botlles that look exactly alike with 10 tablets in each <obviously, the tablets look alike as well>. each tablet in every bottle weighs 1 gram each except for in one bottle where it weighs 1.1 grams. Using an electric scale ONLY once, try finding a preocedure or something that'll get you to know which one of the bottles contain the 1.1 grams.....
If you do get it, send me an email with an address <if you want to> and i'll send a calendar.

From "Logic and Mathematica Question #1"
fill the5
pour it into the 3 (leaving 2 in the 5)
pour out the 3 and put the 2 left in the 5 into the 3 refill the 5 and top off the 3 from the 5 leaving 4
but y? This one I can't get it with less than 3 weighs, please post answer in a week or 2

Stack all the bottles on the scale, one at a time, when the weight increases by 11, you've got your monkey!

Alright peace2u, sorry, but no to all. For the tablets you have to use a little simple method. Take one tablet from the first bottle, two from the second, 3 from the third and so on....and if the 1.1 grams was in the 1st bottle, the reading would show 55.1. But if it were from the second bottle, it would read 55.2 and the third...55.3 and so on. Get it?

Step 1
This is what u do to arrive at ur answer
Pair the bottle into 5 then u wiegth the heavier part will indicate 5.5
Step2
Pair the bottles in to twos and weigth, yhe heavier bottle will displace 2.5
or if both bottles weigth are equal it means the only bottle is the one remaining from the 5s
